You may be familiar with capers, used for culinary purposes around the world, without realizing that they actually come from a popular (and quite beautiful) bush. Native to the Mediterranean, the caper bush is most often grown for its unripened flower buds, which are picked, dried, and brined, then used to add a burst of tangy, intense flavor to a variety of dishes. Even if you’re not a fan of capers, these plants can make a wonderful addition to your garden. Best planted in the spring, caper bushes produce fragrant and ornamental white flowers with beautiful violet stamens. The flowers only last for a day, but if you let the bush spread freely, you’re likely to see flowers all through the summer.
SUN: Caper bushes need plenty of direct sunlight to thrive. Plant them somewhere where they can get at least six to eight hours of light a day.
SOIL: They do well in blends of all types, including soil that is low in nutrients, sandy, or especially gravelly.
WATER: When you first plant them, they will need more frequent watering in order to establish themselves in your landscape.
BLOOM PERIOD: Caper bush blooms in spring, summer, and early fall.
WHEN TO PLANT: Best planted in the spring, caper bushes produce fragrant and ornamental white flowers with beautiful violet stamens.
