Silver Buffaloberry

What: Silver Buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentea) is a remarkably tough native shrub prized for its brilliant silver foliage, fragrant yellow spring flowers, and showy red berries that persist into fall. It thrives in the coldest and driest prairie conditions, making it an exceptional choice for challenging landscapes.

Best use: Silver Buffaloberry is ideal for xeriscaping, windbreaks, and naturalizing in difficult landscape areas. Its striking silver foliage and winter interest make it perfect for mixed borders, screening, and restoration projects in poor or alkaline soils. This native shrub also provides valuable wildlife habitat with its persistent berries.
