Description

The listing, Symphoricarpos (snowberry) has ended.

this auction is for 25 Symphoricarpos (snowberry) seeds pretty easy to grow can be grown as a border hedge in the garden great for wildlife , hummingbirds , butterflies , and clearwing moths like the flowers and believe me the entire bush will be covered with the flowers
the berries arren't edible for humans , the taste is very bitter , but the yard critters will love you for it
l only ship to verified addresses so if you aren't verified do so
these seeds need to be scarified but not to worry it's easy to do and l will send instructions on how to do that
good luck and happy bidding
take a look at my other auctions !!!!

Questions & Comments

I realize that the berries are bitter, but, have you ever tried recipes which call for a small amount of bitter? Bitter melon is used for a lot of recipes.

merrilllewis75 l don't know of any recipe that these berries The berries are not edible for us humans but animals do eat them. And they contain saponins, which are compounds very much like soap! l tried them and bitter doesn't do them justice trust me

I just thought I'd check. I read in various books about medicinal uses, but, nothing more.
