Snowberry
Snowberry is the plant you notice first in our garden in autumn: just as the leaves start to yellow, the branches fill with clusters of small white berries that look like a dusting of snow.
We only cut what is going out that day and stand it straight in buckets of water. Some stems are longer, some berries sit closer together — they are simply the way they grew.
- Bunch: 15 stems, 50–70 cm long
- Season: roughly February to April, once the berries turn white
- Vase life: about 7–14 days, longer with a little care
- Good for: bouquets, weddings and events, a jug on the kitchen table
The berries are not edible — please keep them away from small children and pets.
Once they arrive
A little care buys you another week
Every stem is cut the day it leaves us. Two minutes of care when they arrive makes them last much longer in the vase.
-
01
Cut on an angle
Trim 2–3 cm off the bottom at an angle so the stem drinks more. Woody stems can also be split about 2 cm up the middle.
-
02
Strip leaves below the water
Leaves sitting in water rot quickly. Pull off everything below the waterline and the water stays clean for days.
-
03
Fresh water every 2–3 days
When you change the water, snip a little more off the stems — a fresh cut drinks better.

04
Keep them cool
Keep them out of direct sun, away from heaters and the fruit bowl — ripening fruit gives off ethylene, which ages flowers faster.
