Everything about Rubus Odoratus totally explained
Rubus odoratus (
Purple-flowering Raspberry,
Flowering Raspberry, or
Virginia raspberry) is a species of
Rubus, native to eastern
North America, from
Nova Scotia west to
Ontario, and south to
Georgia and
Alabama.
It is a
shrub growing to 3 m tall, with (unlike many other species in the genus)
perennial, not
biennial stems. Also, unlike most other related species this plant doesn't have thorns. The
leaves are palmately lobed with five (rarely three or seven) lobes, up to 25 cm long and broad, superficially resembling
maple leaves. The
flowers are 3–5 cm diameter, with five purple
petals; they're produced from early spring to early fall. The
fruit matures in late summer to early autumn, and resembles a large, flat
raspberry with many
drupelets, and is rather fuzzy to the touch and tongue.
Cultivation and uses
It is widely grown as an
ornamental plant for its conspicuous flowers with a long flowering period. This plant likes partial shade, rich, slightly acid soil and moderate water. It is locally
naturalized in parts of
Washington and also in
Europe, notably southeastern
England.
