black chokeberry

Aronia melanocarpa 'Ground Hug'

Black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa 'Ground Hug') is an amazing plant species due to its hardiness to a wide range of temperatures and its wide tolerance of soils. It thrives in full sun or partial shade and can even tolerate wet soils. A fast-growing deciduous shrub, Black Chokeberry produces eye-catching clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring that are followed by glossy black berries. Its fall foliage colour of a deep purple-red is breathtaking. It is an ideal choice for shrub borders, hedges, or as a focal specimen. It is also deer and rabbit resistant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance — no pruning required!
