Rubus pentalobus - Creeping Raspberry

Add item to quote to see pricing

Rubus pentalobus is an evergreen perennial, affectionately known as the Creeping Raspberry. Its charm is derived from its robust, dense mat of lobed, dark green leaves that artistically transition to a compelling bronzy-red hue as the temperatures drop. This low-lying ground cover generously spreads across your landscape, promising not only beauty but also a practical solution for soil erosion - particularly on slopes and banks. Revel in its vibrant display of petite, five-petaled white flowers during the summer, which soon give way to small, ornamental fruits reminiscent of raspberries. These fruits add a quaint visual detail but are not intended for consumption. Blessed with high adaptability, Creeping Raspberry thrives under both full sun and partial shade, requiring only moderate watering. This low maintenance marvel is a solid choice for those desiring a lush, year-round canvas of foliage and flowers. Whether peeping from a hanging basket, spreading over a rock garden, or lining the edges of a pathway, it'll serve your landscape well with its graceful presence and resilient nature.
