Create a beautiful, wildlife-friendly landscape with Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), a hardy North American native shrub treasured for its brilliant white berries that persist through winter. These distinctive waxy fruits appear in late summer and often remain on the branches until early spring, adding bright contrast and seasonal charm to woodland gardens and naturalized areas.
In early summer, clusters of small pinkish tubular flowers bloom along the stems, attracting pollinators. By autumn, the shrub becomes dotted with round, pearl-white berries that seem to “float” along the arching stems. While ornamental and valuable for wildlife, berries are not for human consumption.
Snowberry grows 3–6 feet tall with a rounded, bushy habit. It spreads by rhizomes, making it excellent for erosion control, woodland edges, and mass plantings. Extremely adaptable, it tolerates shade, cold, wind, drought, and a wide range of soil conditions.
This 100-seed pack is ideal for larger plantings, habitat restoration, or establishing natural hedges.
You will receive:
✔️ 100 Snowberry seeds
✔️ Hardy native shrub variety
