Snowberry, White

WHITE SNOWBERRY  Symphoricarpos albus
• A hardy, adaptable, multi‑stemmed deciduous shrub native to the Canadian Prairies, best known for its distinctive white, berry‑like drupes that persist well into winter and provide important late‑season food for birds.
• Produces small, pink‑tinged summer flowers that attract bees and other pollinators; while not showy, they are ecologically valuable.
• Forms a dense, suckering thicket with arching stems and soft blue‑green foliage; excellent for naturalized plantings, wildlife gardens, erosion control, and difficult sites where other shrubs struggle.
• Extremely tough and tolerant of poor soils, clay, drought, and urban conditions; thrives in exposed prairie environments and requires minimal maintenance.
• Full Sun to Part Shade
• Zone 2, 1–1.5 m Height × 1–2 m Width
