Symphoricarpos Proud Berry® Pearl Snowberry

Proud Berry® Pearl Snowberry delivers a spectacular display of bright white berries that cover the branches from late summer through fall. The abundant fruit creates striking contrast against pale blue green foliage, providing long lasting ornamental interest when many flowering plants begin to fade. Its compact habit and heavy berry production make it a standout addition to borders, foundation plantings, and mixed shrub gardens, where the crisp white berries add texture, color, and seasonal appeal.

Selected for its exceptional fruit set and more manageable size, Proud Berry® Pearl offers all the charm of traditional snowberry in a garden friendly form. This self pollinating North American native produces berries without requiring a second variety and blooms on new wood for dependable annual performance. Pollinators visit the summer flowers, while the decorative berries can be harvested for seasonal arrangements and may attract birds later in the season. Pair it with roses, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, asters, and other fall blooming perennials for extended garden interest.

Hardy in Zones 3 through 7, Proud Berry® Pearl thrives in part sun to sun and adapts to average, moist, well drained soils, including challenging urban and poor soil conditions. Plants mature to approximately 24 to 36 inches tall and 24 inches wide with a compact habit. Cut stems back to about 12 inches in early spring and remove older stems periodically to encourage vigorous growth and abundant berry production. This easy care native shrub delivers reliable performance and outstanding fall beauty year after year.
