Notes
'Glen Magna' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Glen Magna') is a shrub for food gardens, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its arching canes bloom in spring and again in summer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Serviceberry, Bowl of Beauty peony, and Big bluestem.
