Western Snowberry vs Phantom HydrangeaSymphoricarpus occidentalis Hydrangea paniculata Phantom NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2021) ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
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.
Phantom Hydrangea is a striking deciduous shrub with impressive blooms. It is multi-stemmed and produces pale green flowers that fade to white and soft pink as they mature. These flower clusters can reach up to 15” (40cm) long and while other shrubs will droop from the flowers' weight, Phantom Hydrangea has sturdy stems that support them.
