Rubus parviflorus 'Sunshine Spreader'



A low creeping gold leaved shrubette. I am a little wary of it in case it decides to invade or produce elfin groves of seedlings but it has a good reputation and is probably worth a try.
I got it from Edulis, their label says:

"A thicket-forming shrub with velvety, golden leaves. Pretty cup-shaped white flowers from early summer to early autumn, followed by red fruit."

Rubus parviflorus is a North American species and 'Sunshine Spreader is used there as a ground cover. It wasn't very vigorous here and died out after a couple of years.
