Aronia Low Scape Mound® Chokeberry

A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub, Aronia Low Scape Mound® is the ideal choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and eye-catching addition to their landscape. This compact deciduous shrub, a robust native of the US, only grows 1 to 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide but promises a stunning display from spring through winter. It's perfect for those looking to add vibrant color and dynamic form to their garden without the need for high maintenance.

In the spring, Aronia Low Scape Mound bursts into bloom with small clusters of pale pink to white flowers, beckoning to bees and butterflies, giving the shrub a delicate, airy appearance. These blooms are soon accompanied by glossy green foliage that stands up to the summer heat effortlessly. Come autumn, the leaves transform into a striking red color that's beautifully complemented by the dark purple berries, adding a rich contrast to your garden's palette.

An Aronia melanocarpa cultivar, commonly called black chokeberry, Aronia Low Scape Mound has a neat, compact habit, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens. Its petite size and tidy growth pattern also make it a fantastic option for massing as ground cover and edging or for growing in containers and mixed beds. It's a great option for erosion control as it spreads by root suckers. Whether used as an edging plant, in containers, or as a feature in garden beds, this versatile shrub will enhance your landscape with its long-lasting charm and adaptability.

In addition to its hardiness and aesthetic appeal, Aronia Low Scape Mound requires minimal maintenance, allowing you to enjoy its beauty with little effort. Despite its delicate appearance, this shrub is incredibly tough and resilient, capable of withstanding cold temperatures (to Zone 3), dry soils and drought, heat, and even salt and wet, boggy soils, making it an ideal choice for challenging environments. The shrub grows best in sunny to partly sunny locations with moist, well-drained soil.

A native plant, black chokeberry is indigenous to North America. Native plants are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. Naturally adapted to the climate and soil conditions of the region, they thrive without fertilizers or extra watering, once established. They also act as natural pest controls, reducing the need for pesticides in the garden. Landscaping with native plants promotes biodiversity and provides shelter and quality food for wildlife and pollinators, bringing gardens to life.

Bring a touch of enduring beauty to your garden with the Aronia Low Scape Mound, a flowering shrub that offers year-round interest and effortless elegance.
