Description

Hut 2 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. Part sun to sun Height: 8 – 14 Inches Spread: 36 Inches Blooms on old wood If you wish to prune, the best time is immediately after it blooms. However, be aware that this will remove the potential for any fruit to form. Deer resistance varies. In areas with heavy deer or rabbit activity, they may eat the flower buds in early spring, when food supplies are scarce. However, they do not typically continue browsing aronia after that, so are unlikely to cause severe or disfiguring damage to the plant itself. https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/aronia/ground-hug-aronia-melanocarpa photo credit: Proven Winners a Proven Winners plant
