Common raspberry 'Octavia'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Octavia is thought of as hardy, so Octavia will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. Octavia needs a clay soil with a ph of 5.7 to 6.0 (weakly acidic soil).

Try to ensure a gap of at least 1.62 feet (50.0 cm) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Octavia is a hardy plant.
