Symphoricarpos albus - Snowberry

Add item to quote to see pricing

Symphoricarpos albus is an evergreen delight aptly named Snowberry for its signature clusters of radiant white berries that punctuate the winter landscape. A member of the honeysuckle family, this deciduous shrub is a robust choice as it propels a vibrant display throughout the year. Notably, snow-white berries juxtapose the gray-green leaves, creating an intriguing spectacle that garners widespread appeal. Modest, pink, bell-shaped flowers bloom in early summer, transitioning into striking berries that persist through the colder months. The Snowberry is not just a feast for the eyes, it's also an attraction for wildlife, playing a critical role in supporting a thriving ecosystem. A markedly versatile shrub, it satisfies all needs, from mass plantings and hedging to adding a dash of winter interest. Growing 3-6 feet tall and wide, its resilient nature lends it the capability to thrive in a range of light conditions, from full sun to full shade, in well-drained soils. Note, however, that while a visual treat, the Snowberry's berries are toxic if ingested. Choose Snowberry for a landscape design that merges whimsical beauty with nature's joy.
