Description

The almost unknown "Silver Bramble" comes from the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa where it makes small congested shrublets of small, silvery-green, wrinkled leaves. The white flowers in spring are succeeded by sizeable tight clusters of sweet, white powdered 'blackberries'. A rare and exotic member of this popular family of berries.

Sowing Advice

These seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. They should be sown into well-drained, sandy compost at any time of the year, and covered to their own depth with sand or grit. No artificial heat is needed; the seed tray is best left in a cool spot outside and kept moist. Seeds usually germinate in the spring after a chilling in the cold compost, regardless of when they are sown.
