Aronia melanocarpa (Chokeberry)
Color Name: Low Scape Mound®
As cute as a button yet tough as nails, Low Scape Mound Aronia is an innovative dwarf selection that may be the closest thing yet to a perfect landscape plant. Adaptable to most any soil, this versatile little black chokeberry offers dark glossy foliage, loads of white flowers in spring, black summer fruit, and intense red foliage in autumn. Ideal for low maintenance mass plantings.
Growing Tips: Aronia are notoriously tough plants and can be used to beautify equally challenging sites, like parking lots, easements, and urban areas. Aronia are generally considered deer resistant, but they may eat the flower buds in spring when other food sources are scarce. However, they are unlikely to cause any significant or disfiguring damage to the plant itself.
Soil: Adaptable to nearly all soils.
Pruning: Prune to shape after blooming if desired; note that this will prevent fruit from forming.
Uses: The unique low growing, mound-like habit of Low Scape Mound aronia suits it to many landscape applications: mass plantings, groundcover, edging.
