Symphoricarpos Magical® Lemon & Lime

White, pearl‑like berries, accented by a soft hint of lime-green, create a luminous, backlit effect in bouquets and designs.

An upright variety, Lemon‑Lime adds charm to bouquets and designs with white, pearl‑like fruits kissed with a hint of lime green - creating a luminous, backlit effect.

A true season extender, Lemon‑Lime fruits later than most snowberries, pushing harvest into September and October. Harvest stems earlier for fresh lime-green berries or later for creamy white fruits, offering versatile color stages just as the garden begins to wind down for winter.

Plant in large drifts for extraordinary landscape impact—and an abundant, late‑season supply of fruiting stems for floral arrangements.
