(Red Aronia) Meet the incredibly resilient Berry Scape® Aronia! This aronia can grow in nearly any soil type, is drought tolerant once established, and is also heat and salt tolerant. Hardy in zones 4-9, this shrub can adapt to many different growing climates and conditions. It is native to various areas on the east side of the United States. It features a neat, upright habit with rounded green leaves and white flowers in the spring. It puts on a stunning show in the fall when its leaves turn bright red, and its flowers turn into berries, which appear yellow at first, then turn orange and eventually red. Berry Scape® Aronia grows best in full sun to part shade but has the best results when it receives 4+ hours of sunlight each day. It can reach a height and width of 4-5 feet. Blooming on old growth, it is best left untrimmed but can be shaped if necessary, and dead wood can be removed. This is a great shrub for landscapes as edging or a specimen plant, and it adds a wild/natural feel to the garden. In the spring, its flowers attract pollinators to the garden. Berry Scape® Aronia is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
