Notes
'La Paloma' dwarf serviceberry (Amelanchier 'La Paloma') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant flowers attract bees, and birds visit the plant too. It is also drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled in.
Pairs well with Chokeberry, Green Spice coral bells, Switchgrass, and Pink Impression tulip.
