About this plant
Low Scape Mound® Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa Low Scape Mound Proven Winners) is a remarkable deciduous shrub that brings year-round beauty to any garden. In spring, a flurry of delicate white flowers emerges, followed by plentiful dark purple-black berries in late summer, which persist into winter, providing a vital food source for birds and adding ornamental appeal. This cultivar stands out for its tidy, mounded habit and dense branching, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, mass plantings on slopes, or as an attractive border plant. Its glossy green foliage transforms into brilliant red and purple hues in autumn, delivering a spectacular seasonal display. Extremely adaptable and resilient, 'Low Scape Mound' tolerates a wide range of conditions, from wet to dry soils, and is resistant to deer and most common pests. It's an eco-friendly choice that enriches local wildlife while demanding minimal care.
