Aronia melanocarpa Low Scape Mound®

Aronia melanocarpa Low Scape Mound® - Chokecherry
.
Common name: Chokecherry
Family: Rosaceae (Rose Family)
Distribution: North America
Life form: Deciduous shrub/sub-shrub
Comments: Low Scape Mound aronia is a tough, tolerant, tidy little mound of glossy green foliage. In spring, it's covered in hundreds of dainty white flowers, and in autumn the leaves turn brilliant red to contrast with dark purple-black fruit. The unique low-growing, mound-shaped habit of this new variety makes it perfect for mass planting as a ground cover or edging plant. Best of all, it thrives almost anywhere: cold climates and hot ones, wet soils and dry ones, sun and part shade. This native shrub will gracefully handle just about any landscape challenge you can throw at it!
