Common Snowberry
Common snowberry is a small shrub that grows as a thicket with arching branches and blue-green leaves.
Tiny white to pale pink flowers appear in summer. They turn into snow-white berries later in the summer. The leaves of common snowberry are smaller than western snowberry. Birds eat the berries.
This is a good choice for a shady area where its suckering habit will not be a problem.
