Notes
Creeping raspberry (Rubus calycinoides) is a shrub for ground cover and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, and it grows about 12 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. Give plants room to spread into a dense mat.
Pairs well with Irish moss, Winter creeper, and Snake's head.
