This fall at Squak Mt Nursery we are excited to introduce a new snowberry who pinky promises to be an outstanding shrub in your garden.
Snowberry (Symphocarpus) ‘Pinky Promise’ is going to be a showstopper for your garden with it’s pink flowers in late spring that give way to abundant clusters of bubble gum pink berries in late summer and early fall. Birds will flock to ‘Pinky Promise’ when those pink berries begin to pop out, deer are deterred by it, and bees will be drawn to the pollen of the flowers in spring.
