Virginia Creeper vs Western SnowberryParthenocissus quinquefolia Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Virginia Creeper is a fast-growing, climbing vine. Its root-like tendrils attach themselves to any non-smooth surface, even brick, but will also grow as a ground cover.
Like the Common Snowberry, the Western Snowberry is a small shrub with pink flowers useful for feeding livestock and preventing erosion. Unlike the common species, however, the Western Snowberry is much more suited to wet conditions, capable of persevering through poor soil drainage and occasional flooding.
