Bright Fantasy™ Snowberry, Scarlet Pearl Snowberry, Charming Fantasy™ Snowberry
This new collection of Snowberries came to Monrovia from a breeding program in the Netherlands. Monrovia is proud to be one of the first companies chosen to release some of these special selections into the US market. Because they were selected for the cut foliage industry, these three new varieties are noted for their berries' increased size, number and enhanced color. The vase life for a cut stem is up to three weeks, an ideal choice for the gardeners who enjoy growing their own floral bouquets. These Symphoricarpos are great for attracting birds and other wildlife to the garden. Ideal for a hedge, border or as a specimen plant and an excellent selection for gardens, parks and public green spaces All three of these shrubs are vigorous growers, reaching three- to five- feet high with an equal spread through underground runners. They bloom on first year wood. Symphoricarpos is compact, upright and graceful with a sturdy arching habit; semi- pendulous with broad elliptic leaves. The fruit clusters that appear at the end of the branches are 1/2 to 3/4- inch wide round drupes and persist well into winter after the foliage has fallen off. Light pruning should be done in early spring as flowers are produced on the current season's growth. Flowers are small and inconspicuous. Symphoricarpos are native North American, deciduous, woody shrubs that were first improved by G.A. Doorenbos breeding work in the 1940s. The native habitat runs from Nova Scotia to Alberta, south to Minnesota and Virginia and in the western North America from Southwestern Alaska to Southern California. While listed as USDA Zone 3 - 7, they can be grown in coastal Zone 10. Snowberries are very tolerant of any soil and once established are very resilient to periodic drought. They thrive in sun or partial shade.
	An abundant crop of large white fruit decorates this shrub beginning in fall becoming especially showy on the otherwise bare stems in winter - plant where fruit can be enjoyed from indoors. Cut fruiting stems last two weeks in floral arrangements.

Native, snowberries are essential to North American wild landscapes because they naturalize so well. A superbly beautiful addition to wildlife habitat gardens as a late season food source for many species. Improved color and form has boosted them into high status in traditional shrub borders for late season interest. Planted as a low informal hedge or arrange in irregular groupings. A fresh new candidate for foundation planting. Add to any garden for a ready supply of colorful cut berry sprays for autumn decorating. Coralberry works well with other northern natives in wild or tame garden setting: Autumn Brilliance Apple Serviceberry, (Amelanchier x grandiflora ‘Autumn Brilliance’), Diane Witch Hazle, (Hamamelis x intermedia ‘Diane’), Bailey Compact American Cranberrybush Viburnum, (Viburnum trilobum ‘Bailey Compact’) and Cutleaf American Elderberry, (Sambucus canadensis ‘Laciniata’). Works beautifully with high impact shrubs such as Rose Glow Japanese Barberry, (Berberis thunbergii ‘Rose Glow’) and Renaissance Spiraea, (Spiraea x vanhouttei ‘Renaissance’). Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear to shape in early spring. Small white-pink flowers in summer.

Fast growing shrub with arching stems to 4 ft. high and wide. Water regularly, when top 3 in. of soil is dry. Full to partial sun. USDA Cold Zones: 3 to 7 Minimum temperatures of -40 to -30°F AHS Heat Zones: 1 to 7 60 to 90 days per year above 86°F
