White Snowberry Shrub Sports Blue-Green Foliage

 White Snowberry Bush

Blue is my favorite color so I tend to gravitate towards blue flowers or blue foliage as often as my husband will let me.  Technically, I haven't started planting much yet as we are still trying to decide what we want to do.  We have been in the house a year but we are still being surprised by what has already been planted and we need to work around those plants.

This White Snowberry is one that I think I would really like to try.   It's foliage is a beautiful blue-green which is something I'm not sure I have seen before.  In July it blooms with pink flowers, then in autumn it puts out an abundance of white berries!  Many birds are attracted to the berries on the shrub including hummingbirds and even pheasants.

It grows to a nice tall height of 5-6 feet and spreads 3-6 feet so would work nicely as a hedge as well as on its own.  It prefers partial sun and grows from zone 3-7.  For color and an unusual plant, the White Snowberry would work well.
