FLOWERING RASPBERRY! Rubus odoratus, the purple-flowered raspberry, flowering raspberry, or Virginia raspberry, is a species of Rubus, native to eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to Ontario and Wisconsin, and south along the Appalachian Mountains as far as Georgia and Alabama. It is a shrub growing up to 3 meters (10 feet) tall and doesn't have thorns. The red edible fruit matures in late summer to early autumn, and resembles a large, flat raspberry. Rubus odoratus is widely grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive pink flowers with a long flowering period. This plant likes partial shade, rich, slightly acid soil and moderate water.
Type: Hardy shrub
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Sun or shade
Seeds per packet: 3
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22C (68-72F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
