Aronia 'Lowscape Mound' (Lowscape Mound (Dwarf) Chokeberry)
Cultivated from the "superfruit" eastern U.S. native shrub, Black Chokeberry, this "Lowscape Mound” Chokeberry is a dwarf shrub perfect for smaller landscapes and zone 1 of rain gardens, due to its adaptability! It grows only ~2-2.5 ft. tall, and spreads 3-4 ft. wide.
Its dark-green, glossy foliage may convince you it's an evergreen, but the burst of red, orange, and yellow hues in the fall makes it clear it's deciduous! It features an abundance of long-blooming mini-rose flowers in clusters that cover the shrub and become edible (and super nutritious!) black fruits in late summer.
Aronias are incredibly flexible plants, surviving in most soil types and tolerating both summer drought and winter saturation, allowing them to grow just about anywhere with full sun to part shade.
Use in a border (or mass plant to define an edge), a rain garden, or in complicated sun conditions where the site has both many hours of sun and shade in the heat of summer.
