Shrubby Cinquefoil (Potentilla) vs Western SnowberryDasiphora fruticosa syn. Potentilla fruticosa Symphoricarpos occidentalis SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Shrubby Cinquefoil is a small, deciduous flowering shrub. This hardy species is densely covered with leaves and produces pale to bright yellow buttercup-shaped flowers terminally on the stems.
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.
