The Caper Bush (Capparis spinosa) is a hardy perennial Mediterranean shrub prized for its edible flower buds (capers) and fruit (caper berries). Known for their tangy, briny flavor, capers are harvested and pickled to use as a garnish or seasoning in salads, pasta dishes, sauces, and meats. This drought-tolerant shrub thrives in hot, dry climates with well-drained soil, but it can also be grown in containers in cooler regions. With its attractive white to pink flowers and gray-green foliage, the Caper Bush is both ornamental and edible. Seeds are heirloom, Non-GMO, and open-pollinated, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who love Mediterranean flavors.
How to Plant
When: Sow indoors in late winter or early spring. Seeds benefit from cold stratification before planting.
