Product Details
Symphoricarpos Proud Berry® is a mounding shrub featuring lustrous blue-green foliage that is attractive over a long season on plants that are more compact than our native Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus). Come fall, though, when the pink blossoms turn into nearly fluorescent pink berries, you’ll see why this is the main attraction. Proud Berry® delivers a prolific show when planted in full sun and provided with a touch of pruning in early spring to encourage an abundant display of fruit in fall. Cut some of the berry stems to bring indoors for exceptionally long-lasting, late-season bouquets. The berries are also a good food source for robins and thrushes. A Proven Winners® variety. 'Sofie' PP 21,226
Grown primarily for their berries that last well into winter, Symphoricarpos produce small, nectar-rich, white or pink flowers that are attractive to pollinators. For more information on the growing and care of Snowberry, click Growing Guide.
Shipping
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Smaller i hope
Jayne from Sonora, CA
My orbicularis gets 5' tall by 8' wide in full sun. It tolerates a lot of shade where it reaches 4 x 4' It has held up to snow-15 degrees, lots of gophers, and high heat-110 in our area. I have pruned it severely because it is too large for where I have it in sun. It always comes back nicely. It takes lots of wind with an open, airy, graceful appearance. The one drawback is that it's branches root in the ground rather easily and it is hard work to dig them out. It's berries are inconspicuous.
I am hoping this plant only grows to the dimensions they say and with pink berries will be even more attractive that what i now have. Will follow up later with an update.

Latin Name Pronunciation: sim-for-ih-kar'pos
Easy to grow in full sun and almost any kind of soil (plants prefer even moisture in the South).
Fertilize just once, in early spring, with a granular, balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10.
Plants are multi-stemmed and compact with a dense, bushy habit. Prune as necessary either in late winter or early spring.
