Description
The Symphoricarpos 'Arvid' is a variety of Snowberry with a low and wide habit that forms perfect ground covers. It can grow in full sun and also thrives in the shade of trees, in both wet and dry conditions. As it adapts to most soils and is also very hardy, it is a valuable plant in the garden. Its flowering is quite discreet, with small white-pinkish flowers, but it then develops decorative white globose fruits. In autumn, its deciduous foliage takes on pretty yellow hues. With its rustic appearance, it is an ideal small bush for wild-inspired gardens.
The Symphoricarpos 'Arvid' belongs to the large family of Caprifoliaceae, which includes many ornamental plants in the garden such as Honeysuckles, Abelia, Kolkwitzia, Viburnums, Elderberries, and other Weigelas. This Arvid variety is a Swedish selection known for its ability to form ground covers. It is indeed a low bush (about 50 cm (20in) tall), with a very spread-out habit (up to 1.50 m (5ft) wide) and dense, well-covering foliage. Its oval leaves, of medium size and slightly bluish green, turn beautiful shades of yellow in autumn.
In June-July, small white flowers with a hint of pink appear, rather discreet but appreciated by bees. They give way to white globose fruits of approximately 1 cm (1in) in diameter in October-November, which are highly decorative and persist throughout winter. This snowberry is tolerant of various conditions. It is extremely hardy, down to -25 °C, or even -30 °C. A low-maintenance plant, generally free from diseases or insects, it is truly a gem for beginner gardeners!
Snowberries are known for their hardiness and beautiful winter fruiting. This variety will be appreciated for its ease of cultivation in shade, its rustic character, and its decorative white fruiting on gray days. It will form a beautiful ground cover in a garden that embraces nature. Many other deciduous or evergreen shrubs, with flowers or berries, will compliment it, such as Spireas, especially the lovely Spiraea cinerea Grefsheim with its flexible branches covered in white flowers in spring. The Cornus sanguinea Magic Flame, with its flamboyant autumn colors, the Lonicera tatarica Hack's Red, a bush honeysuckle with reddish-purple flowers, the Winged Euonymus with its rich autumnal colors, and a variety of botanical Roses, Hawthorns, or Barberries will blend perfectly with our Snowberry to create a natural scene in the garden.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
