Kryphallon in P9 pot
Common Names: Creeping Bramble, Creeping Bramble, Chinese Bramble, Groundcover Bramble
Scientific name: Rubus tricolor
Family: Rosaceae
Plant history & use:
Evergreen ground cover raspberry with edible berries. Often used in gardens for its effective weed control. Berries about 2 cm in diameter ripen from summer to early autumn when they turn a deep red color. Originates from southwest China.
Kryphallon is a very attractive ground cover precisely because it is low growing, effective in its ability to compete out weeds and is evergreen. This is the main purpose of the plant, but on top of that it also offers edible berries. This plant can become a favorite among those who are looking for effective and useful ground covers with the ambition to facilitate weed management, for example in a forest garden.
A tight and Beautiful dark green foliage covering the creeping horizontal stems. White flowers in late spring-summer. The stems are covered with soft glandular hairs, not thorns.
Culture:
Thrives in semi-shady-shady locations, but also does well in direct sun. Thrives best in well-drained clay soils. However, it is tolerant of almost all types of soil: calcareous, sandy and acidic soils, for example. Hardy to about -15ºC.
Ripe berries turn a deep red color in late summer-early fall. It is good to harvest regularly to allow the plant to produce new berries.
Spreads via horizontal shoots that then take root. Once established, the Kryphallonet can spread 2 m per year. Can be pruned to keep within certain limits. It is recommended to plant with trees that are already fairly established, as the Kryphallonet is very diligent in taking up water and nutrients for its own growth.
Very drought tolerant once established.
