GREAT FOR LARGER LANDSCAPING PROJECTS

Taiwan Creeping Raspberry forms a dense, spreading evergreen ground cover. Plant the plugs approximately 1–2 feet apart to begin establishing a continuous carpet. Under suitable growing conditions, the plants may fill the area in approximately 2–3 years; actual coverage depends on climate, soil, sunlight, watering, and care.

Use this versatile ground cover 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

• Pollinator-friendly gardens

The foliage provides year-round interest, while the flowers can attract butterflies and other pollinators. The plants are also described as deer resistant, although browsing may still occur.

SHIPPING AND SEASONAL INFORMATION

• Shipping now. Order early before plants sell out.

• The listed price includes packing and shipping.

• Please let us know when you would like your order shipped.

• These starter plugs are one-year-old rooted cuttings.

Important fall and winter notice: We do not recommend ordering starter plants 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 plugs to establish roots before cold weather arrives. Zone 9 or warmer alone does not guarantee successful establishment, so consider your local conditions and growing setup before ordering.

PLANTING TIPS

Plant in well-drained soil and choose a site with full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during establishment, especially during dry weather, and avoid allowing the soil to become too dry. Allow room for the plants to spread over time.

Please remember that growth rate, winter appearance, flowering, fruiting, and ground coverage vary with local climate and care. Edible berries may develop as plants mature under suitable conditions, but fruiting is not guaranteed.
