Family Rosaceae

Rubus idaeus ‘Bleu Nuit’ is a summer-fruiting purple raspberry remarkable for the dark and elegant coloring of its fruits. This upright, bushy raspberry develops vigorous stems bearing an abundance of very dark purple, almost bluish-violet, medium-sized, firm, juicy, and intensely aromatic raspberries. Its summer fruiting, on the previous year's canes, offers a generous mid-season harvest, ideal for fresh consumption, jams, and deeply colored desserts. Its bright green foliage creates a striking decorative contrast while attracting pollinators to the vegetable garden. Suitable for fruit rows, edible hedges, or food-producing beds, Rubus idaeus ‘Bleu Nuit’ is appealing for its hardiness, reliable yield, and distinctive ornamental appeal.
