The snowberry bush is an adaptable California native that enjoys moist or dry shade and most well-drained soils. It will also do well in cool sun. It can grow 3-6 feet wide and 3 feet tall. Its spring and summer blooms of bell-shaped pinkish-white flowers attract pollinators, while its fall and winter white snowberries will attract birds. The berries are mildly toxic to humans, cats, and dogs but serve as a food source for many birds.
