Description
Adored for its highly ornamental pure white berries, the White Snowberry is an amazingly adaptable North American native deciduous flowering shrub anyone in USDA Zones 3 to 7 can easily grow and enjoy. In early summer an abundance of small, bell-shaped, soft-pink flowers appear. Though the flowers are cute, they are inconspicuous for the most part, but the butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators will surely enjoy them. The real prize is the abundant clusters of showy, pearl-like, snow-white berries that persist well into winter. The birds and small mammals will thoroughly enjoy these. The arching branches are clothed in blue-green, elliptical, eucalyptus-like leaves that remain attractive from spring to frost. Amazingly adaptable and non-demanding, plant this one in full sun or full shade and moist to dry soils of average to even poor fertility. That said, the more sun the plant gets the more berries it produces!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 3 to 6 feet tall and equally as wide, the White Snowberry is ideal for use in mixed shrub borders, sunny or shady woodland borders. It can also be useful as a low hedge or in mass on slopes for erosion control. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, white theme gardens, wildlife gardens, native plant gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet for solid hedges or groupings; 5 feet or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
White Snowberry is very easy to grow in a wide range of soils preferring a moist but well-drained soil of average to even low fertility and full sun or full shade. For the best berry production we suggest 4 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. Drought tolerant when established. No pruning necessary however responds well to it for size control or shaping purposes.
Plant Long & Prosper!
