Creeping Snowberry

Creeping snowberry is a low-growing, rhizomatous shrub native to the western United States, commonly found in open woods. It forms dense mats through spreading stems, providing excellent ground cover and erosion control. The plant produces small, oval leaves and clusters of pinkish-white tubular flowers in spring and summer, followed by white, waxy berries that persist into fall and serve as food for birds and other wildlife. Creeping snowberry thrives in dry to moderately moist soils and full to partial shade, making it an adaptable species for restoration and native landscaping in woodlands and forests.
