Planting and care information
Plant Raspberry Queen in full sun locations with well-drained soil in spring or fall. Space plants 12-24 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread. After flowering, the foliage may go dormant during summer heat before re-emerging in fall. Cut back spent stems to ground level after blooming. Consider interplanting with late-season bloomers to fill potential gaps during dormancy. Provide moderate moisture during active growth, but avoid overwatering, especially during dormancy.
