Snowberry
type: Product
description: Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) Snowberry is a cold-hardy, thicket-forming native shrub known for its distinctive white berries, which persist through winter and provide valuable food and shelter for wildlife. Native across much of North America, Symphoricarpos albus thrives in a wide range of soils and light conditions, from dry uplands to moist forest edges. Its small, bell-shaped flowers support pollinators, and its dense branching offers cover and nesting habitat. Snowberry is an excellent choice for restoration, native hedgerows, and challenging planting sites where erosion control and biodiversity are priorities. Key Characteristics Winter berries for birds and visual interest Clusters of bright white berries appear in late summer and often persist into winter, feeding birds such as grouse, waxwings, and robins. Though mildly toxic to humans, the berries are critical for wildlife during the cold months when food is scarce. Attracts native pollinators with summer blooms Small, pink to white bell-shaped flowers bloom in mid to late summer and attract native bees, bumblebees, and beneficial insects. The plant provides mid-season forage in pollinator-supportive plantings. Dense growth provides shelter and erosion control Snowberry’s suckering habit allows it to form dense colonies that stabilize soil and create thickets. These thickets offer excellent cover for birds and small mammals and are especially effective on slopes, streambanks, and disturbed areas. Thrives in shade or sun, dry or moist soils Extremely adaptable, Snowberry grows well in sun or part shade and tolerates dry, rocky, clay, or seasonally wet soils. This makes it highly useful in restoration projects, woodland edges, and underplantings in the shrub or understory layer. Valuable in restoration and permaculture systems Snowberry’s durability and habitat value make it ideal for wildlife corridors, native hedgerows, and permaculture zones in need of low-maintenance structure, erosion control, and s…
