Cloudberry – Rubus chamaemorus Live Plants | Alaska Wild Harvested | Rare Arctic Berry Species | Bog Garden Friendly | Unique Cold Hardy Edible Plant
Grow one of the most sought-after northern berries with Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), a rare member of the raspberry family native to Arctic and subarctic regions. This unique low-growing perennial produces distinctive amber-orange berries highly prized throughout Alaska, Scandinavia, Canada, and other northern climates.
Wild harvested from Alaska, Cloudberry naturally grows in acidic bogs, peatlands, and mossy wetlands where cool temperatures and abundant moisture are present year-round. The plants form attractive colonies over time and produce delicate white flowers followed by the famous golden berries when both male and female plants are present.
Cloudberry is considered a specialty plant best suited for experienced gardeners willing to recreate its unique bog habitat. Proper soil acidity, moisture retention, and cool growing conditions are essential for long-term success. Because these plants are wild harvested, each shipment may contain varying plant sizes and quantities depending on seasonal availability.
