Spectacular Fall Foliage
Carefree and versatile, this low-growing native can be pruned for a more formal look or left to grow naturally. White flowers blanket the dense glossy green foliage in spring. Aronia Hedger bears little to no fruit. A grand fall finale displays foliage in blazing oranges and reds. Perfect for a 3-season-interest hedge. Chokeberry handles just about any landscape challenge: wet or dry soils, deer, hot or cold climates! Aronia Low Scape® Hedger was developed by Dr. Mark Brand and Dr. Bryan Connolly at the University of Connecticut. Blooms on old wood.

Aronia Plant Care

"Very low maintenance. If desired, but not necessary, prune to shape after flowering. Prefers a sunny spot with well-drained soil."

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
