Notes

'Regent' dwarf serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia 'Regent') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It has a dense habit and grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Fragrant flowers draw bees and butterflies, and birds visit too. Leaves turn color in fall.

Pairs well with Alpine currant, Cerise Queen yarrow, Red fescue, and Common juniper.
