A VERSATILE SPREADING GROUND COVER

Taiwan Creeping Raspberry forms a dense, spreading evergreen carpet and is described as deer resistant, although deer may still browse plants. Plant plugs approximately 1–2 feet apart to begin filling your chosen area. Under suitable growing conditions, they may fill the space in about 2–3 years. Actual coverage depends on climate, soil, sunlight, watering, and care.

Great for:

• Erosion control on suitable slopes

• Garden borders and edging

• Rock gardens and landscape beds

• Green roof plantings where appropriate

• Xeriscaping and low-growing landscape designs

The flowers can attract butterflies and other pollinators, while the changing foliage adds seasonal color to the landscape.

IMPORTANT FALL AND WINTER NOTICE

We do not recommend ordering starter plugs during fall or winter unless you have a greenhouse or are in USDA Zone 9 or warmer. The season may be too advanced for the plants to establish roots before cold weather arrives. Being in Zone 9 or warmer does not guarantee establishment, so please consider your local conditions and growing setup before ordering.

PLANTING AND CARE

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly while the plants establish, especially during dry periods, and avoid allowing the soil to become too dry. Give the plugs room to spread as they grow.

Growth, ground coverage, winter foliage color, flowering, and fruiting vary with growing conditions and plant maturity. Edible berries may develop under suitable conditions, but fruiting is not guaranteed.
