Caper Bush – Capparis spinosa Seeds | 240 Seeds | Edible Capers | Fragrant Mediterranean Shrub | Heat & Drought Tolerant

Establish a generous planting of Caper Bush (Capparis spinosa), the classic Mediterranean shrub known for its edible caper buds and striking fragrant flowers. Naturally adapted to dry, rocky, sun-drenched environments, this low, spreading shrub thrives where many plants fail — making it ideal for xeriscapes, rock walls, coastal gardens, and containers.

From late spring through early fall, the plant produces small pinkish flower buds that are harvested and pickled as capers. If left to bloom, they open into beautiful pinkish-white flowers with long violet stamens and a delicate fragrance. Each bloom opens in the morning and closes by afternoon, adding daily ornamental interest.

This 240-seed bulk pack is ideal for larger edible gardens, dry-climate landscaping projects, nursery production, or rock garden installations.

You will receive:
✔️ 240 Caper Bush seeds
✔️ Edible flower bud variety
✔️ Fragrant ornamental blooms
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions included
