Symphoricarpos hesperius Trailing Snowberry

Description

A stoloniferous, deciduous shrub of woodlands that forms low, spreading mats along the ground. Stems root as they travel, creating a dense, layered groundcover over time. Leaves are small and rounded to slightly lobed, reminiscent of small oak leaves, while stems can take on coppery tones.

In late spring to early summer, clusters of small, pink, urn-shaped flowers appear along the stems, attracting native bumblebees. These are followed by white berries that persist into fall.

Growing From Seed

Growing your own native plants from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your project or home garden. The seeds of native plants have built-in dormancy mechanisms that protect them from germinating before killing frosts or periods of drought.

In cultivation, the successful gardener must become familiar with these conditions to unlock the dormancy mechanism and stimulate germination. We are developing thorough seed germination categories in the Seed Details section above to help you successfully grow the native seed we sell.
