Autumn Magic Black Chokeberry Shrub

A striking display of color from spring to winter

The Autumn Magic Black Chokeberry shrub is a true asset to any landscape, showcasing lush, waxy dark green foliage throughout the growing season. Native to the Eastern United States, this adaptable shrub thrives in a wide range of conditions and can tolerate moist to wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, native plantings, and low-lying areas. In spring, it bursts into bloom with clusters of delicate white flowers that create a striking display, especially when planted in groups. Reaching 5 to 7 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, it works beautifully as a hedge, screen, or standout focal point.

As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of red and dusty purple, delivering exceptional fall color. Glossy black berries follow and often persist into winter, providing seasonal interest and an important food source for birds. The berries are also edible and can be used to make jams and jellies, adding culinary value to this ornamental shrub. With its adaptability, wildlife appeal, and multi-season beauty, Autumn Magic Black Chokeberry is a versatile and resilient addition to any landscape.
