Description
Chokeberry Brilliant Red (Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima') is a deciduous shrub admired for its striking seasonal interest and naturalizing habit. This vase-shaped beauty grows 5 to 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, thriving in full sun and moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Ideal for Zones 4 to 9, Chokeberry Brilliant Red is perfect for mass plantings or grouping, spreading by suckers to create a lush and textured display in the landscape.
In spring, clusters of white flowers with brick-red anthers emerge, followed by forest green foliage that ignites into fiery scarlet in the fall. From early autumn through winter, bright red berries persist, providing brilliant color and wildlife interest. Low-maintenance and versatile, Chokeberry Brilliant Red offers year-round beauty, making it a top choice for borders, hedgerows, or naturalized areas where bold color and form are desired.
