Description
A remarkable new dwarf Aronia. White spring flowers are
just the start of the show: glossy green foliage turns brilliant red in
fall, and black fruit are just as nutritious as our Viking Aronia. Quite
possibly the perfect landscape plant, it’s adaptable to most soils,
doesn’t need pruning and provides multi-season interest in the
landscape! Excellent groundcover plant! Mature ht: 30 cm (1 ft) and
spreads 60 cm (2 ft).
