Plant Needs
If you've got a tricky spot in the landscape—maybe a slope, a sunny patch with poor soil, or even a dry, forgotten corner—Ground Hug® Aronia is your new best friend. This tough native shrub is specially bred to grow low and wide, creating a lush, weed-suppressing carpet of glossy green foliage that hugs the ground, stabilizes soil, and adds instant polish to problem areas.
In spring, it offers a charming display of small white flowers nestled in the leaves, and by fall, you’ll enjoy a fiery flush of red foliage and clusters of dark purple berries. It’s hardworking and handsome, with year-round beauty and practically zero fuss. From sun to part shade, wet to dry soils—Ground Hug is ready to take on your toughest spots and turn them into something beautiful.
Why we love it:
-
Dense, low-growing habit makes it a natural weed-blocker and erosion fighter
-
Spring flowers, fall berries, and vibrant red autumn color
-
Thrives in almost any soil or condition—no pampering needed
