Low Scape Mound® Aronia
Aronia melanocarpa ‘UCONNAM012’
Compact and tough, Low Scape Mound® Aronia is a hardy native shrub that delivers multi-season interest in a tidy, mounded form. In spring, clusters of small white flowers appear above glossy green foliage, attracting pollinators. By late summer, dark purple-black berries develop and persist into fall, providing food for birds and wildlife.
As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of red and orange, creating a striking fall display. Its compact size and adaptability make Low Scape Mound® an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, and mass plantings.
