Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

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").

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
