Capparis spinosa var inermis (4") | Spineless Caper Bush (4")

 FOR MAIL ORDER CUSTOMERS, please be aware that Capers are herbaceous, therefore plants ordered in the Fall may arrive with fewer leaves than expected. Capers will usually lose their leaves for the winter, but so long as the main stem remains viable, you will have new growth in the spring each year. Capers will be available to order in the Spring after they have begun to leaf out. Herbaceous. 3-4 ft. Sun to Part Sun. Spineless Caper Bush is a low sprawling shrub to 3 feet tall, with arching stems and dark green, semi-succulent round leaves. Plant width can be around 6 feet. From May to October, the plants produce small flower buds, which are harvested and used commercially as capers. If left unpicked these flower buds form large, exotic delicate scented pinkish-white flowers with long lavender stamens which open in the morning and close in the afternoon. After the flower is finished an oblong berry is produced, which can be picked with the stem attached, brined and enjoyed the same way
