Caper Plant

$55.00

Sold Out

Caper Bush (Capparis Spinosa) is a perennial native to the Mediterranean.  The bush blooms during spring and summer.  The bush drops its leaves in the winter, and new leaf growth will take place once the weather begins to warm in spring.  Did you know the pickled capers sold in jars are the buds of the Caper bush?  If you are patient, and choose to enjoy the flowers then the fruits (berry) may set after the bloom.  Fruits can be harvested for pickling as well.    

This plant will grow to be a beautiful bush in any full sun area.  It is beautiful in xeriscape garden as well since this bush does not require frequent watering.  

How to Use
Young buds and the fruits of the Caper Bush can be harvest for pickling.  Pickled capers are delicious in any Mediterranean dishes, pastas, pizzas, even in salads!
