Symphoricarpos Magical® Ruby Giant
Big, rose‑red berries for extended fall harvest
Extraordinarily large clusters of rose-red berries define this attractive mid-to-late-season snowberry while providing bold color and strong visual impact. As the season progresses, the berries deepen to a rich dark pink, adding depth and contrast to both garden displays and floral designs. With a harvest window extending from September through October, Magical® Ruby Giant adds value to your cut flower offerings and extra beauty to your garden. When paired with the late-flowering Magical® White Dream, it benefits from reliable pollination and abundant fruit set.
