Purple Chokeberry
Small bush planted in November, it has taken well and has even already flowered despite its small size. Can't wait for it to grow to feed the birds in my garden and adorn itself with beautiful colors in the fall.

Description
The Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliant' is a very decorative bush with dark green foliage that turns brilliant red in autumn, and large clusters of white flowers.
Hailing from the eastern United States, this beautiful 3m (9 to 10ft) tall and slightly suckering, hardy bush has a compact and upright habit. Also known as "Chokeberry", it bears deciduous, alternate, simple, ovate, finely dentate leaves that are dark green and turn fiery red in autumn, measuring 4 to 7cm (1.6 - 2.8in) in length. In May, the white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink, measuring 2cm (0.8in) in diameter, are abundant and nectar-rich. From September to Christmas, the bright red, edible fruits, with a taste similar to blackcurrants, are highly appreciated by birds.
The fast-growing Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliant' thrives in light, moist, humus-bearing, well-drained soil in a sunny location that is never scorching, or partially shaded. In shade and on chalky soil, the colours are less vibrant. It is naturally resistant to diseases and parasites.
The Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliant' can be used as a standalone plant, in informal and country hedges, or in borders, for a more spectacular effect, plant it in groups of 3 to 6 plants of the same variety.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
