White Snowberry

White Snowberry (Symphoricarpos 'White Hedge') has dainty pink flowers that appear in July. It is accented with blue-green foliage, and then produces large white berries in autumn. Snowberry is unique because few shrubs produce white berries!

Hummingbirds love the flowers, and in the fall the white berries are an excellent food for birds. The berries hang on all season so they offer winter and spring landscape interest.

Snowberry grows in both sun or shade and in moist conditions. This plant works best when planted in masses or mixed with several other plants of similar height.

White Hedge Snowberry looks great planted in masses across the back of your perennial border or incorporated in your mixed borders. The plant can tolerate shade as well as sun so it opens the door to many possibilities in the landscape. These doorenbosii hybrids are more refined with smaller leaves and show mildew resistance. The plants do spread slowly from the base but easily kept in check and much less aggressive than the species.

White Snowberry is a dense, twiggy shrub that spreads by suckers underground. This plant prefers sun to medium shade, tolerates any soil, and is easy to transplant. It should be pruned before new growth begins.

It is a delicate looking plant with a quietly enchanting quality. The egg white berries seem to float lightly in the air, all about the plant. This, and their small, scattered leaf pattern, give the plant a low, but airy, quality!
