Spreading Snowberry

Spreading snowberry, also called creeping snowberry or mountain snowberry, is a low, spreading deciduous shrub native to the mountains of western North America, reaching 2-3 feet tall with slender branches. The plant produces small pink flowers and white berries.

This species is extremely cold-hardy and thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. It spreads vigorously via rhizomes and is useful for groundcover, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. Hardy to zones 5-8, it tolerates poor soils and drought once established.
