Growing Tips:

• Stratify seeds in the fridge for 1–2 months before sowing for better germination

• Start indoors in early spring; transplant after frost

• Use well-drained soil—think rocky or sandy textures

• Water sparingly once established; capers prefer dry roots

• Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage flower production

Harvesting:

• Pick unopened flower buds early in the morning and cure in brine or salt

• Larger, immature fruits (caperberries) can also be harvested and pickled

• Full flavor develops after curing—use in pasta, salads, fish dishes, or sauces
