Valentina Ground Cover Raspberry

A low growing herbaceous ground cover. A Raspberry plant without thorns! The plants grow to be a mature height of five inches tall and spread by rhizomes, making a thick mat of bright green trifoliate leaves. In late spring one inch pinkish lavender flowers appear and the red fruits will appear in the middle of the summer. As the fruits ripen, the sweet aroma of Raspberries among the planting will attract the raspberry lover to the area to taste the delicious fruits. Fall color is tremendous with foliage showing shades of red and burgundy. At least two of our cultivars should be planted to ensure cross pollination. The cultivars Sophie, Anna, Valentina, and Beta are available. These cultivars were selected in Sweden by Dr. Gunny Larssen. They were her favorite varieties for flavor, plant vigor, fruit quality, and extreme hardiness. Hardiness Zones 1-7.
