White Snowberry is a deciduous shrub with attractive, arching slender stems. Creamy white to pale pink flowers appear at the tips of branches in spring, followed by clusters of white berries that persist all summer and into the fall. Leaves are soft, dull green, changing to yellow in the autumn. Berries may persist into winter months, providing forage for migrating birds. Grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Sun to light shade.
Though not as drought tolerant as the native Symphoricarpos, White Snowberry is still a good choice for dry shade areas. May need more water is placed in front of a sunny wall. Every few years, prune the shrub hard to just a foot above ground to rejuvenate it and encourage new growth near its base. Good in informal and naturalized areas, and for erosion control, due to its suckering habit.
