Rubus hayata-koidzumii, commonly known as Rubus calcinoides, creeping raspberry, crinkle-leaf creeper, or Taiwanese creeping bramble, is a low-growing, evergreen perennial plant that is native to Taiwan. It is a member of the rose family (Rosaceae).
Creeping raspberry grows to a height of 6-12 inches and spreads to a width of 24-36 inches. Rubus provides textural interest in the landscape with its dark green, puckered or crinkled, 1½" leaves. Leaves may turn burgundy red in the Winter. Small white flowers appear in spring followed by small, yellow-orange berries. Fruit is edible and tasty, but tiny, so leave them for the birds. Rubus is evergreen in the Southern zones but can be semi-evergreen in Zones 6-7.
Durable, fast-growing evergreen groundcover that takes sun or shade. Creeping raspberry prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. Rubus makes a good ground cover in hot, dry areas with ample water and well-drained soil.
The thick, coarse-textured, dark green foliage adorns stem runners that root as they creep along the ground and spreads in all directions. Creeping raspberry is aggressive, but not invasive. It doesn't climb trees or smother shrubs. Easily control it with mechanical edging. A light trimming in late winter will encourage new growth in spring.
