Product Overview
Hardiness zones 5-9
Transform your landscape with Rubus 'Betty Ashburner', a vigorous, low-maintenance evergreen ground cover named in honor of the renowned British plantswoman. This exceptional cultivar features glossy, crinkled dark-green foliage that transitions to rich bronze and purple tones in the winter, all set against striking arching stems covered in dense, fuzzy red bristles. Ideal for suppressing weeds and providing rapid erosion control on slopes, it forms a dense, mat-forming carpet that is highly deer, rabbit, and gopher resistant thanks to its coarse texture and unpalatable bristly stems. In mid-summer, this resilient, wildlife-proof creeper produces charming small white flowers followed by edible, bright orange-red raspberry-like berries, making it a beautiful, tough, and manageable choice for challenging garden spaces.
