Darn Gorgeous Rose vs Aronia Berry
Rosa sp.
Aronia melanocarpa
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SOLD OUT
Developed by DNA Gardens, Darn Gorgeous Rose is an ornamental shrub that produces radiant red teacup blossoms throughout the summer.
If you are looking to add a splash of colour to your home garden, Darn Gorgeous Rose is for you.
Our growers think this is truly a "Darn Gorgeous" rose and is a pleasure to see growing in our fields.
Aronia Berry produces black fruit that is often considered too astringent. This is why they are also referred to as Black Chokeberry. It is native to Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. White to pink flowers appear in the spring which provides a nice contrast to the dark green foliage. In fall the leaves turn a vibrant orange to red.
It has a fast growth rate, strong roots, and can tolerate growing in wet soils. This makes it well suited for various projects including forming hedges, bank stabilization, erosion control, and in wetter riparian areas. They are also well suited as an understory plant as it grows well under other trees.
Aronia berries have their own unique flavour. The polyphenols and anthocyanins are touted as healthy antioxidants and lots of research seems to be underway on the health benefits of this fruit.
