Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

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.
