Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) is a hardy deciduous shrub prized for its clusters of pure white berries that persist through winter. Small pink to white blooms appear in summer, followed by berries that provide food and shelter for birds and small mammals. Its tolerance for tough conditions—including rocky slopes, riverbanks, and shade—makes it ideal for erosion control and naturalized plantings. With dense growth and blue-green foliage, snowberry adds year-round interest and ecological value to any landscape.
