Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A sport of a most useful, groundcovering rubus, Sonya's Parasol maintains wonderfully cream-streaked, shiny green leaves on plants rarely exceeding 4" in height but spreading to form a small groundcover or container plant. We were thrilled to find this as our own variegated introduction was lost some years ago. Good for lighting the understory of small shrubs or shady nooks. Works in fairly deep shade to all but the most blasty full sun. Would like regular water in dry places. Frost hardy to upper zone 6.
