Comments: Rubus calycinoides or R. pentalobus is also known as Creeping Raspberry. It is native to Taiwan. This increasingly popular evergreen ground cover forms a dense mat.

Not only is it beautiful during the growing season, but it turns to a lovely burgundy shade in fall and winter. Mature height is only 2 inches to 4 inches.
