Low Scape Mound Aronia is a dwarf native deciduous shrub with a low-mounding habit and tidy, glossy dark green foliage that turns brilliant red in fall. Clusters of white flowers bloom in spring and give way to small black 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.
