Labrador Tea vs Western SnowberryLedum groenlandicum Symphoricarpus occidentalis SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) 
Labrador Tea is slow-growing evergreen shrub native to the boreal forests of Canada.

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.
