Overview

The Spineless Caper Bush (Capparis spinosa v. inermis) is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial. This cultivar stands out with its lack of spines, unlike its relative, and bears round, fleshy leaves with large, white to pinkish flowers that blossom into distinctive edible capers. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it reaches up to 3 feet tall and spreads up to 5 feet, providing a low-maintenance, aromatic addition to Mediterranean-inspired landscapes.
