About: This is a common, straggly shrub with clusters of 8–16 inconspicuous, pink, bell-shaped flowers. They form small, white, poisonous berries, which remain on the bush throughout much of the following winter. The inside of the berries resembles snow, providing an extra justification for the common name. Leaves are elliptic to round.
