Symphoricarpos Magic Berry (Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii Magic Berry) Snowberry.
This colourful Snowberry has oval shaped dark green leaves, during the summer racemes of very small pink flowers appear and develop into pink snowberries that eventually ripen to a bright rose colour giving a vibrant ‘pop’ of late season colour into winter.
The flowers of Symphoricarpos Magic Berry are nectar rich making them very popular with a wide variety of pollinating insects.
This is an easy and tough deciduous shrub, bushy growth makes them a useful hedging plant and the berries can bring welcome late season colour to beds and borders. They grow well in drier and more difficult areas (once established) and can be used as taller, low maintenance ground cover to good effect. This is a great shrub for a wildlife area too.
