Double Gold Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Double Gold’) is an unique, ever-bearing raspberry variety with an excellent sweet flavor. It is a highly productive plant. The fruit is a pale golden color when unripe, changing to a vibrant coral color once fully ripe. It is named Double Gold because in warmer areas it produces two crops of berries – as both a floricane (summer) and primocane (autumn) producer.
Growing Double Gold Raspberry
Indoor Sowing: Cold Stratification and then transplant seedlings once big enough.
Direct Sowing: Autumn and Early Winter.
- To plant raspberries from seeds, direct sow the seeds in a plastic peat pot starting in autumn to early winter.
- The seeds need a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. This naturally occurs outdoors if you plant the seeds in the garden in Autumn or winter.

- Lightly cover the seeds with soil, and place in a warm area.
- Plant the raspberry seedlings outdoors the following spring.
- For Direct sowing in Autumn or Early Winter, press one to two Raspberry Seeds down into the soil of a container. Pat the soil down gently over the seeds to remove air pockets.
- Mist the soil lightly to dampen, using a spray bottle filled with water. Keep the soil moist throughout the germination process.
- The seeds will begin to sprout within three months.
- Set the container in an area that receives bright, indirect sunlight once the seeds begin to sprout.
- Continue to keep the soil moist and provide the raspberry plants with adequate light as they continue to grow.
- Transplant the raspberry plants outdoors in the spring, as soon as the soil is workable.
