True Caper, Caper Bush
Capparis spinosa
Native to the Mediterranean region, especially Italy, Greece, North Africa, and the Middle East, where it grows in rocky, sun‑baked soils and coastal cliffs.
Thrives in USDA Zones 8–10. A heat‑loving, drought‑tolerant shrub that prefers full sun and excellent drainage. Handles poor, sandy, or rocky soils with ease. Sensitive to hard freezes but rebounds quickly in warm climates. Ideal for xeriscapes, edible gardens, and Mediterranean‑style plantings.
True Caper is a low, spreading shrub known for its beautiful white flowers with long purple stamens and its famous edible flower buds—the capers used in cooking
