This compact native shrub is prized for its brilliant red fall foliage, black berries, and small size, making it a versatile landscape choice. A slow grower, it reaches only 1.5 to 3 feet tall and wide, though it can spread wider by suckering.

In spring, it produces clusters of delicate white flowers, which mature into glossy black berries by late summer. While the berries are edible, they are quite sour and bitter, though they can be used for preserves. The berries persist well into winter, adding interest after the leaves drop.

The glossy green foliage turns bright red in fall, providing a stunning seasonal display. Low Scape Mound Chokeberry thrives in full sun but tolerates part shade. It is adaptable to both wet and dry soils, making it a great option for diverse landscapes. The plant is deer resistant and has no major pest or disease issues, though leaf spot may occasionally appear.

This low-maintenance shrub is perfect for wildlife gardens, groundcover plantings, and stream banks, where it can naturalize beautifully. It also works well in small garden spaces, rain gardens, and mass plantings.
