Taiwan Creeping Raspberry

Polish every inch of your planting beds with a thick, rugged carpet of these sweet spreading Raspberries. This low-maintenance perennial features pretty, lobed leaves that deliver value year-round.

Plant Taiwan Creeping Raspberry (Rubus hayata-koidzumii) for an attractive series of ornamental features throughout the year. Let these creepers spread to soften edges, and you'll be rewarded with textured foliage.

Thick leaves are leathery and coarse-textured. But they are quite charming, with their rounded lobes and slightly ruffled margins.

Look close for the endearing white flowers. Each multi-petaled bloom is decorated underneath with frosted star-shaped sepals.

Butterflies and beneficial pollinators love these tiny nectar-rich blooms. But deer don't care for this durable variety, and tend to steer clear of the incurved brambles along the red stems.

Watch as the flowers develop into an eye-catching crop of berries that color change from gold to red by the autumn. Wildcraft these creeping raspberry fruits, ranging in color from yellow to salmon and red, or leave them for the local squirrels and chipmunks.

The crinkled leaves also deliver a fall color display. Although the leaves are evergreen, they'll deepen from their dark green summer cloak into a pretty red blush that remains on the plant all winter.

Taiwan Creeping Raspberry is a tough, attractive groundcover that adds a lot of character to your landscape. Order yours today, and you'll be well on your way to enjoying a lush mat of colorful, cute foliage, flowers and fruit!
