Flowers, Berries, and Wildlife

In late spring, Snowberry produces charming white to pale pink bell-shaped flowers. By late summer, these give way to distinctive white berries that often remain on the branches into winter.

The berries provide seasonal food and shelter for birds and add visual interest when many other shrubs have lost their leaves. Please note: Snowberries are not edible and can be toxic to humans. Do not eat them.

The branches can also be cut for use in seasonal flower arrangements.

Landscape Uses

Snowberry is a versatile shrub for:

• Informal hedges and natural screens

• Mass plantings and naturalized areas

• Wildlife and native plant gardens

• Erosion control

• Seasonal winter interest

• Cut branches for floral arrangements

Its spreading rhizomes allow it to form a colony over time, making it useful for filling larger landscape areas.

Pruning and Care

Prune Snowberry back to the ground in late winter or early spring, as recommended by the seller. Fertilizing after pruning can encourage vigorous new growth and abundant berry production.

Allow room for its spreading habit when selecting a planting location.
