A compact serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia 'Regent' (Serviceberry) is an ornamental shrub that provides multi-season interest. In mid-spring, before the leaves appear, it produces masses of showy and slightly fragrant white flowers held in upright clusters. Attractive to pollinators, they are followed by abundant, edible, dark purple berries in summer. Resembling blueberries, they make great jellies or jams and are appreciated by both birds and humans.
