Relative of the cultivated raspberry, grown for its fragrant rosy-purple flowers and nutritious fruit. Long-blooming, from June to August, attracting pollinators. An excellent addition to wildlife hedges. Thornless canes sucker and spread into a dense colony. Berries contain phytonutrients ellagic acid and resveratrol, regenerative and beneficial to health.
