Low Scape Snowfire® Chokeberry is a compact, tidy cultivar of the North American native Aronia melanocarpa (black chokeberry) that offers exceptional ornamental appeal and wildlife value. This low-growing shrub typically reaches just 3-4 feet in height and width, making it well-suited for use as a low-growing hedge, groundcover, or accent plant in smaller garden spaces. In early spring, Low Scape Snowfire® produces an abundance of delicate, white flower clusters that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. As summer progresses, the dark green, glossy foliage provides a lush, textural backdrop, before transforming into a brilliant display of crimson, scarlet, and purple hues in autumn. Even after the leaves have fallen, the plant retains visual interest, with its persistent clusters of dark purple-black berries providing an important food source for birds and other local wildlife. Adaptable to a wide range of soil types and growing conditions, from full sun to partial shade, this low-maintenance chokeberry cultivar requires minimal pruning or care, making it an ideal choice for sustainable, native-focused landscape designs. With its compact, tidy habit and season-long ornamental appeal, Low Scape Snowfire® Chokeberry is a versatile and valuable addition to any native plant palette.
