Introducing the Viking Chokeberry, a Swedish introduction renowned for its exceptional beauty, toughness, and remarkable health benefits. While we were admiring its landscape attributes, the Swedes were harnessing its potential for its abundant fruit, which boasts off-the-charts antioxidant content.

Unlike other varieties left to the birds, the Swedes knew the value of this fruit and utilized it in preserves, jams, fruit drinks, and even wine to fully capitalize on its delicious taste and potent health benefits. Now, you can enjoy the same advantages with this low-maintenance plant that thrives even in the toughest conditions.

The Viking Chokeberry blooms in mid-May, adorning the landscape with clusters of delicate flowers. As the season progresses, these blooms give way to flattened heads of green fruit, which mature into jet-black berries later in the summer. Not only do these berries add visual interest to the garden, but they also offer a myriad of health benefits when incorporated into your favorite culinary creations.
