Low Scape Snowfire Aronia is a compact native deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and tidy, glossy dark green foliage that turns brilliant red in fall. Heavy clusters of white flowers bloom in spring and give way to a heavy set of small dark blue berries in fall that can be used in jams and jellies. Best fruit production in full sun and average well-drained soils. Can tolerate boggy soils.
