Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Common snowberry is a small shrub that grows as a thicket with arching branches and blue-green leaves.
Tiny white to pale pink flowers appear in summer. They turn into snow white berries later in the summer. The leaves of common snowberry are smaller than western snowberry. Birds eat the berries.
Common snowberry has grown well at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. One of its best attributes is its shade tolerance, being able to grow attractively in full shade.
Its flowers and fruit are not that showy. It also spreads vigorously by suckers, so it’s a good choice for planting beds bounded by edging, walls or concrete. It can take over adjacent plants over time.
Remove dead branches as needed. White snowberry suckers through underground stems, so it can become problematic if planted in a place where it you don't want it to spread.
