Flowering Raspberry

Rubus odoratus 3-6' × 6-12' Also called False Raspberry, Ornamental Raspberry or Purple-flowering Raspberry.

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. New leaves can be made into a medicinal tea much like its fruiting cousin, the red raspberry. Lobed palmate leaves fade to pale yellow in the fall.

Tolerates a range of conditions, average to acidic soil, sun or shade. Low maintenance and easy to grow. Native to eastern North America. Z4. Maine Grown. (1-3') BACK!
