A Landscape Powerhouse in a Compact Package
Standing only 18-36 inches tall and spreading up to 2 feet wide, Low Scape Mound® delivers the full ornamental flair of larger chokeberry shrubs in a conveniently compact size. In spring, clusters of pure white blooms cover the plant, attracting pollinators with their delicate fragrance. As summer unfolds, the glossy dark-green foliage remains dense and tidy, creating a lush visual texture. Come fall, this small powerhouse ignites in glowing tones of orange, red, and burgundy before revealing clusters of deep purplish-black berries that attract birds well into winter.
Perfect for covering slopes, edging borders, mass planting, or adding structure to mixed containers, this shrub is as functional as it is beautiful. Its mounding habit makes it ideal for contemporary landscapes where tidy growth and year-long interest are key priorities.

Low Scape Mound® thrives almost anywhere—urban or rural, upland or lowland, garden bed or container. It’s salt-tolerant, adaptable to most soil types, and deer-resistant, making it a smart choice for both home gardeners and professional landscapers seeking dependable, sustainable plantings. This native shrub is also known for supporting pollinators in bloom and offering berries for songbirds later in the season, adding ecological value to its ornamental charm.
Growing and Care Tips
Watering
- Keep soil evenly moist after planting to encourage strong root development.
- Once established, it tolerates short dry periods but performs best with consistent moisture—about 1 inch of water per week.
Fertilizing
- Feed once each spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for shrubs.
- Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce flowering and berry production.
Pruning
- Minimal pruning needed—its natural mounded habit stays compact on its own.
- Remove any dead or damaged wood in early spring before new growth begins.
Mulching
- Apply 2–3 inches of organic mulch around the base, keeping it slightly away from the crown.
- Mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppresses weeds naturally.
General Care
- Plant in well-drained soil and at least 6 hours of sun for best flowering.
- Low Scape Mound® tolerates clay, loam, and sandy soils, and even urban conditions.
