Thimbleberry Shrub

Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) is an erect deciduous shrub that adds multi-season beauty and ecological value to the landscape. Related to raspberries and blackberries, this thornless shrub spreads through underground rhizomes to form dense thickets. In spring, large white flowers bloom in showy, fragrant clusters, giving way to edible, raspberry-like red fruits in mid-to-late summer. Its large, maple-like leaves turn brilliant shades of orange and maroon in the fall, providing lasting seasonal interest. Thimbleberry is an excellent choice for a variety of garden uses, from edible landscapes to informal hedges and erosion control on slopes. While it can tolerate drier conditions, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade, making it a great native plant for woodland gardens or shady creek banks. Why Grow Thimbleberry Shrub?
