As you might expect from a plant called Aronia x prunifolia 'Viking', this shrub is often admired for its striking appearance and hardy nature. In the spring, its deciduous foliage appears, followed by interesting, pink-white flowers. These blooms are succeeded by spherical, black fruits, which give an unusual, tart flavour to jams and other dishes. The berries remain while the plant's leaves turn orange, red and purple, and even hang around to provide winter sustenance for birds. The Chokeberry is therefore a great choice for wildlife gardens, as well as woodland areas and borders in cottage gardens. Height: 2m (6'7); Spread: 2m (6'7).
