Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima' is a medium sized native shrub with multi-seasonal interest. Here it flowers in mid-spring, with lovely white blooms which emerge as the shrub leafs out. Groundcover Sesleria autumnalis provides a green carpet below.

Aronia's green berries have formed in mid-to-late summer. The Moor Grass has filled in and is sending out its inflorescences.

Aronia's berries have turned bright red by early October and persist through the winter.
