Commonly known as Creeping Raspberry, this is a low-growing herbaceous perennial favoured for its foliage and form. It produces masses of richly textured leaves which are thick, rounded, and mid-green in colour. They are held off stems that creep across the ground. The foliage is complemented with white flowers in summer which are sometimes followed by red fruits. It typically grows to just 15 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade.
