Rubus 'Creeping Raspberry'

Rubus rolfei, also known as Creeping Raspberry, is a hardy groundcover perennial from Taiwan that grows 1 to 3 in tall with crinkly, deep-green leaves providing needed texture in lightly shaded areas. This groundcover thrives in difficult conditions that other plants cannot tolerate—perfect for hot, dry, erodible slopes or a ditch where moisture fluctuates.

White flowers appear in mid-summer, but they are generally difficult to spot among the foliage. Creeping raspberry fruits are similar to blackberries or red raspberries, with their delicious flavor and shape but their color is yellow to salmon-red. 

The plant grows quickly forming a low growing dense carpet of leaves and in the fall and winter, those leaves turn subtle rusty pink in color.  Space creeping raspberry plants 4 to 6 ft apart, allowing them plenty of room. Creeping raspberry also adapts well to containers and tumbles easily over rock walls, providing a “spilling over” effect.
