The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

First Editions® Sweet™ Sensation (Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii 'Kolmagics') is dwarf Snowberry bush that provides year-round interest. But most of all, plenty of those fat, pink berries that look like mauvy pearls all autumn and persist into the winter months!
A dwarf variety of an old favorite, this smaller version of the traditional Snowberry is a must-have for any yard. Resplendent in pink summer flowers and fall berries, your Sweet™ Sensation features a deeper pink shade than some other varieties.
The diminutive, silver-green foliage sets off the gracefully arching branches to perfection, and the dramatic pink blossoms are a spicy addition to the vibrant shades of summer! Even when the flowers drop, the decorative pink berries will remain to liven up the dull shades of fall and winter!
Planting and Application:
Sweet™ is large enough to stand out without being too big for most garden spaces. Growing 3-4 feet tall and wide, plant one as a focal point in your yard or several to create an eye-catching attraction year-round!
Snowberry are typically white, but this cultivar is a pink-fruited form! The berries aren't edible by humans, but your wildlife will love them, and the summer blooms will be a draw for butterflies and other pollinators. But the naturalizing thicket-forming nature is a shelter and nesting boon for songbirds!
Snip the berries for bouquets, but leave some for your local wildlife and the dramatic winter interest!
Sweet™ Sensation is also ideal for container plantings and sun-to-shaded planters around your porch, patio, or even a balcony! The smaller size has a gorgeous berry color for Cottage gardens, smaller properties, low hedges, and as bright pops of color to brighten a mixed-shrub hedge!
- Dainty Pink Blooms For Pollinators
- Silvery Green Foliage
- Outstanding Pink Pearl-Like Fall Berries
- Mounded Rounded Dwarf Form
- Container Plants, Low Hedges, Accents & Wildlife Shrubs
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Snowberry need full sun in cooler growing zones of 4 to 8, but appreciate afternoon shade in hotter climates. Plant these deciduous shrubs in well-drained soil with regular moisture throughout the hotter months. Top-dress your shrub's root system with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch to keep them hydrated and insulated.
These shrubs bloom (and therefore fruit) on new growth, so prune in the early spring before new growth begins each year. Renewal pruning is another great way to keep your shrub growing vigorously and fruiting best. Remove the oldest stems out at the ground every 3-5 years to keep them spiffy!
- Full Sun & Handles Afternoon Shade
- Almost Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Higher Moisture
- Prune Early Spring Before Growth Starts
- Fairly Deer Resistant
Choose a dwarf Snowberry with year-round interest! All in all, your own First Editions® Sweet™ Sensation Snowberry bush is a must-have for any landscape where dramatic, long-lasting color is desired! Order now at Nature Hills Nursery!
