Product Description
Rubus hayata-koidzumii is better known (incorrectly) as Rubus calcinoides.
Common names: Creeping Raspberry, Crinkle-leaf Creeper, Taiwanese Creeping Rubus, Creeping Bramble, and Emerald Carpet.
Sun to Medium Shade
Zones 6 to 9
Grows 3 to 6 inches high and spreads in all directions. Durable, fast-growing evergreen groundcover that takes sun or shade. The thick, coarse-texture, dark green foliage adorns stem runners that root as they creep along the ground. Creeping raspberry is aggressive, but not invasive. It doesn't climb trees or smother shrubs. Easily control it with mechanical edging.
In spring and summer, the leaves are shiny dark green above and gray-green below, turning to burgundy in fall and winter. Small white midsummer flowers turn to tiny fruits in late summer. Fruit is edible and tasty, but tiny, so leave them for the birds.
Plant 4 to 6 feet apart to allow room to spread. Full-sun is best, although plants will adapt to partial shade. Too much irrigation or wet soils is not a good thing. A light trimming with the mower in late winter will encourage new growth in spring.
A low-growing member of the genus Rubus which also includes better known edibles such as the blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry, thimbleberry, etc. Originally from Taiwan where it grows at high elevations.

Hoping for the best
Items looked great when they arrived. Super fast shipping. I am anxious to see how fast they spread and what they look like in the fall and expect to order more.
