Edible Landscape

Caper

14 years ago

I have been looking into caper plants and can't seem to find any starts in the U.S. They only seem to come in seed and I have read that the seeds are hard to get to germinate. The only place that I could find that has them as starts is in Australia, but they don't ship to the U.S. Does anyone know of somewhere that has them?

Thanks!

I've grown them from seeds a couple of times. I didn't have any trouble getting them to germinate. The plants will start to bloom the second season. In my climate, I have to overwinter indoors in a cool, bright location. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a try from seed if I were you.

Richters.com has caper plants, although they are out of Canada, BC, I think.

Lake Valley has seeds if you can't find plants. Also GrowItalian.com has seeds. I am growing from seed for the first time. Wish you luck in finding plants.
