Western Snowberry
In stock · from $43.99
Native, multi-stemmed, suckering shrub that grows well in sun to shade. In mid-summer, it has small, pale pink flowers. The flowers turn into white waxy berries later in the summer. Western snowberry forms a colony, so it can be useful for stabilizing slopes or filling in narrow planting areas bounded by walls or concrete. Birds eat the berries.
