Ground Hug® Chokeberry

Features

Ground Hug aronia is a super tough native shrub that naturally grows as a dense groundcover. This unique habit makes it the ideal plant for transforming difficult areas into beautiful, low maintenance plantings. Spring brings a flurry of dainty white flowers nestled among the glossy green foliage; come fall, dark purple berries develop, along with outstanding red foliage. Like our other aronias, Ground Hug is super durable, growing well even in challenging soil and conditions. Tolerant of most any soil conditions.

What is the average size of a Ground Hug Chokeberry?

Planting

Aronia plants thrive best in full sun, though they can tolerate some light shade. While partially shady spots are viable, expect fewer berries compared to sunnier locations. They exhibit flexibility regarding soil preferences. With year-round appeal, they offer striking red foliage in fall and berries throughout winter. Their dense and thick growth makes them excellent ground cover options. Ideal for slopes, parking beds, or any area where mobility is challenging or undesired, they prove to be versatile and low-maintenance choices.
