Cultivars
Low Scape Snowfire
Aronia 'SMNAMPEM'
The award-winning Low Scape ® series of aronia now includes Low Scape Snowfire ® , the heaviest bloomer yet. With a versatile 4-6' height, this durable native shrub can be used as a hedge, foundation planting, crowd control, wildlife gardens, just to name a few. Come spring, it's positively snowed-under with white flowers, and that heavy bloom set results in an equally heavy fruit set come late summer/fall. Fall is also when the "fire" part of its name comes into play, when its foliage blazes red and orange.
Berry Scape
Aronia 'UCONNAA001'
What’s better than a shrub that’s extremely durable and adaptable? A tough shrub that’s also colorful and visually captivating! Native from Ontario down to Texas, Berry Scape red aronia is tolerant of drought, heat, and salt and adapts to nearly any soil. In spring, an abundance of white flowers cover this shrub before changing to bead-like fruit that transition from yellow to orange to brilliant red. Red foliage accompanies the fruit for unforgettable fall interest. At just one-third the size of ‘Brilliantissima’ aronia, Berry Scape fits into many roles in gardens and landscapes. This remarkable shrub was developed by Dr. Mark Brand at the University of Connecticut.
