Notes

'Autumn Brilliance' dwarf serviceberry (Amelanchier 'Autumn Brilliance') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, pollinator gardens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Fragrant pink and white flowers open in spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. The tree offers interest across several seasons.

Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Bloodroot, Queen of Night tulip, and Tall fescue.
