Western Snowberry vs Bracted HoneysuckleSymphoricarpus occidentalis Lonicera involucrata SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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.
Bracted Honeysuckle is a shade loving shrub that is distinguishable from other honeysuckles by its square stem and pointed leaves. Native to most of North America, this honeysuckle is found along swamps, rivers, riparian zones and moist wooded areas. WESTERN SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSBRACTED HONEYSUCKLE QUICK FACTS
