(Snowberry) Soft color and seasonal interest make Symphoricarpos Proud Berry® Pearl Snowberry a charming choice for any landscape. This compact shrub is loved for its blue green foliage, which provides a cool, elegant backdrop all season long. In mid to late summer, small pink flowers appear along the stems subtle on their own but soon followed by clusters of large, pearl white berries that steal the show. The berries mature into a pearly hue that lasts well into fall and early winter, lasting up to a couple months if the conditions are not too wet, offering long-lasting color and texture even after most plants have faded.

Growing about 2-3 feet tall and wide, Proud Berry® Pearl has a naturally rounded habit that fits beautifully into borders, foundation plantings, or cutting gardens. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–7, it’s an adaptable and tough shrub that blooms and sets fruit on new wood, so pruning in early spring won’t impact its stunning berry display.

This dependable snowberry thrives in full sun to part sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types. It’s also deer resistant and low maintenance, making it a reliable choice for gardeners who want beauty without fuss.

With its silvery blue green foliage and long-lasting white berries, Proud Berry® Pearl brings color, contrast, and interest through multiple seasons. A very underutilized shrub in our opinion. Part of the Proven Winners® Color Choice Shrub collection!
