It produces attractive white flowers with long purple stamens during the warmer months, followed by edible fruits. The familiar culinary capers are the unopened flower buds, traditionally harvested before opening and preserved in salted wine vinegar or brine. Well adapted to hot, dry conditions, the Caper Bush thrives in poor, well-drained soils and makes an excellent choice for water-wise gardens once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"640\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"600\"\u003eApproximately 200 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"603\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"640\"\u003eApproximately 20 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"671\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"671\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"819\"\u003eTropics: April to July\u003cbr data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"698\"\u003eSubtropics: September to November\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003eMild climates: September to November\u003cbr data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"773\"\u003eCold climates: October to December after frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"842\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"842\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"1340\"\u003eFor improved germination, mix seed with slightly moist sand and refrigerate (cold stratify) for two weeks before sowing. Sow seed 5–10 mm deep into a free-draining seed-raising mix and keep warm with only moderate moisture, avoiding waterlogging. Germination is naturally slow and often irregular, with low success rates being common. Once established, transplant into a sunny position with very well-drained, rocky or sandy soil. Space plants 1–2 m apart and water sparingly after establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1466\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1466\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46408567488730,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71e6b133.67230585","price":4.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/H_CaperBush_0b6abab4-31c2-4538-bf0d-b8715ad31a8b.jpg?v=1770866530","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/caper-bush-681","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
