- Description
Growing a shrub that’s as colorful and durable as Berry Scape aronia is a virtual no-brainer. Native from Ontario down to Texas, this extremely adaptable plant graces the landscape in spring with loads of white flowers, which are followed by abundant bead-like fruits that change from yellow to orange before turning brilliant red. Bright red fall foliage makes its autumn display even more unforgettable. Though it is similar to ‘Brilliantissima’, it’s one-third the size, and far more colorful and interesting. Developed by Dr. Mark Brand at the University of Connecticut.
