The color progression is what makes Berry White® special. Flowers open white, then begin turning dark pink from the base upward, often leaving the tips lighter while the bottom becomes increasingly rich and rosy.
Cooler late-summer and fall nights help bring out its most intense berry coloring.
We love the combination of big flowers and strong stems.
Berry White® grows tall enough to create a gorgeous backdrop behind roses and makes an especially beautiful flowering hedge. Its sturdy stems keep those big panicles upright, while the changing white-and-pink flowers give us several different colors to work with in the cutting garden.
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade and provide consistent moisture while establishing.
Berry White® blooms on new wood, so prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Once established, it also offers good drought tolerance.
