Snowberry is part of the honeysuckle family. This deciduous showy bush shrub boasts pretty bell-shaped pink flowers in the summer, handsome blue-green foliage and "white as snow" ornamental berries that come to play in autumn through winter. The sweet nectar from the flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies and the ornamental berries provide for an excellent food source for the birds. When all of the summer berries have gone, this is an important gift to nature during snowy winter months.

Snowberry makes for a nice potted plant or (when planted with tight spacing) a bountiful hedge row for your landscape! It grows 3-4 ft tall and equally as wide.

How to Care for Snowberry Flowering Hedge Bushes
Prune in late winter to early spring. Will grow in full sun to partial shade and on slopes. Tolerates pollution. Grows in the poorest of soils and is drought resistant, deer resistant and low-maintenance. Fertilizing needs are low. It is a good practice however to fertilize Snowberry bushes every other year with a general purpose fertilizer.

Germination Procedure: Warm stratify Snowberry seeds for 3 months or plant during summer (3 months of warm weather) followed by cold stratification of at least 2 months in the freezer (or put seeds through 2 months of cold winter weather). This combination will break seed dormancy. Summary: If planted in summer expect sprouts by next spring. Sow seeds at 1/8th an inch depth.
