Symphoricarpos albus (Common Snowberry)
Snowberry is truly a miracle plant, as it can grow in virtually any conditions except consistently standing water. Its flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and a few birds eat its berries.
It has tiny pinkish urn-shaped flowers that offer nectar to various pollinators spring through summer, although its beauty is most pronounced in winter when its delicate stems hang with bright white fruits
As a low-growing shrub, it tends to grow no more than 4-6 ft., but occasional very old stands reach heights up to 9+ ft. It will grow in sandy to clay soils and in almost any light conditions. In sunnier sites, it will produce more flowers and fruits, and will also spread more quickly. It can be maintained as a low, bushy shrub without harming it, or be left to colonize an area - especially great for preventing erosion on slopes!
