Notes
'Kiwigold' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Kiwigold') is a shrub for food gardens, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers open in spring and again in summer, and they draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Give this arching shrub room, since it grows 48 to 60 inches tall.
Pairs well with Serviceberry, Empire apple, Sweet woodruff, and Calendula.
