Aronia melanocarpa ‘Low Scape Mound’® is a compact, low-growing, deciduous shrub that is a cultivar selection of the native Black Chokeberry. It is known for its glossy foliage, white spring flowers, dark purple-black fruit, and brilliant red fall color. The edible fruit is often tart, used for jams, jellies, and juices. Uses include groundcover, hedge, containers, mass planting, edging, borders, erosion control, weed suppression. Water need is moderate, but drought-tolerant once established. It is adaptable to most soils (including dry soils), but thrives in moist, wet soil. Prefers full sun, but handles partial shade. Highly tolerant of salt. Deer and rabbit resistant. Fire-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -40°F.
