Iroquois Beauty Chokeberry is an mounding native deciduous shrub with tidy, glossy dark green foliage that shifts from yellow to deep red in fall. Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in late spring and give way to small, edible dark purple berries used in jams ripe in late summer through fall. Best fruit production in full sun and average well-drained soils. Can tolerate boggy soils.
