Plant history & use
Orange Creeping Raspberry is a ground-covering relative of the raspberry, originating from Taiwan and southeastern China. The variety 'Emerald Carpet' is especially valued for its dense growth habit and its decorative, evergreen foliage that takes on bronze-red tones in autumn.
It is mainly grown as ground cover in gardens and slopes, but the berries are edible – small, orange, and mild in flavor, and can be used in jam and desserts.
The Orange Creeping Raspberry is not as vigorous as the more common Creeping Raspberry (R. tricolor) and can therefore be a better choice if you want to be more careful with the planting space – over time, however, the orange creeping raspberry also forms a dense ground-covering mat, but it is somewhat easier to manage.
Cultivation
Thrives in sun to partial shade in well-drained, preferably slightly acidic soil. Tolerates drought once established. Excellent as ground cover in rock gardens, on walls, or on slopes. Low-growing and easy to care for, spreads by runners.
