This revolutionary dwarf variety is an absolute game-changer, offering a generous yield of medium-sized, sweet berries on a thornless plant that is perfectly sized for containers or small spaces. You'll love that the fruit ripens early and that this shrub also features ornamental white flowers in spring, followed by beautiful red canes in the fall.
Ideal for Zones 4 through 8, 'Baby Cakes' requires a minimum of 6+ hours of Full Sun to ensure the sweetest berries and the heaviest production. Its most defining feature is its compact size, maturing at a tidy 3 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for a decorative patio container or a tight border. While the canes and fruit are tempting, its compact habit and often enclosed location (if grown in a pot) provide some defense, making it resistant primarily to deer and rabbits in managed home garden settings. Best of all, it's self-pollinating!
When planting, especially in a container, ensure the soil drains well. Whether in a pot or in the ground, blend your native soil with plenty of Watters Premium Mulch to improve water retention and provide essential organic matter. Immediately mix in and water with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This gentle, balanced feeding is the key to encouraging the strong canes and vigorous growth needed to support two full seasons of berries on one plant.
