Symphoricarpos Magical Sweet ='Kolmaswet' (Magical Series)

Common name: Snowberry 'Magical Sweet'

Description: This delightful member of the Magical Series produces an outstanding display of berries that light up the autumn and winter garden. Following small pink summer flowers, the plant becomes covered in abundant, large rose-pink berries that persist well into winter, often remaining attractive even after leaf fall. The berries have a particularly sweet pink colouration that creates a soft, romantic effect in the border. The compact, rounded habit and dense branching structure make this an excellent choice for providing structure in mixed plantings or creating low informal hedges. This is an exceptionally tough and reliable shrub that performs well in challenging positions including dry shade, making it ideal for difficult areas where other plants struggle.
