The detail
You can choose from four distinctive Symphoricarpos varieties, each selected for its unique berry colour, growth habit & seasonal character: ‘Magical Candy’ with blush-pink berries, ‘Magical Sweet’ with rich deep-pink fruits, ‘Magical Galaxy’ with luminous pearl-white berries, or ‘Magical Winterberry’ with long-lasting pure white winter displays. From late summer into autumn, and in some cases well into winter. each shrub produces dense clusters of ornamental berries held along gently arching or upright stems, creating colour, texture & movement when much of the garden begins to fade.
Supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 3L rootballs in their nursery pots, each snowberry is grown in premium peat-free compost to support strong root development & reliable establishment. Larger than typical small-potted shrubs, these plants arrive fully rooted, structurally mature & outdoor garden ready. Their compact, bushy habits, ranging from around 70–130 cm tall & wide depending on variety, make them ideal for mixed borders, informal hedging, wildlife-friendly planting & seasonal container displays, delivering dependable performance with minimal ongoing care.
