Capparis spinosa
 (Cappero, Flinders rose).
Perennial ornamental herbs. It is a great plant suitable for growing on balconies, terraces and winter gardens. Bitter spicy berries - buds are used for food flavouring. Berries are salted, pickled and used to spice up gourmet dishes, salads, pizza, meat and fish dishes.
The plant is a bush, flowers very ornamental and bloom all summer. After blooming, flowers begin to develop berries. The plants are hardy and grow well in poor soils, very undemanding to water. In the northern part of Europe we recommend to grow these plants in pots and move indoors in winter, where the temperature is not lower than -5°C.
