Amelanchier rotundifolia 'Edelweiss' – Amelanchier rotundifolia 'Edelweiss'

View prices and availability
Grows naturally as a shrub, but frequently grafted onto a stem in practice. The loose branching pattern produces an open crown. On emerging, the leaf has white, felt-like hairs on the underside, giving it a silver-grey appearance. These hairs disappear in the summer and the oval leaves are conspicuously grey-green. The autumn colours vary each year, but are usually a combination of yellow, orange and red hues. The creamy white flowers are strikingly large and grouped in dense racemes. The edible fruits are fairly small and blue-black. Amelanchier has few soil requirements but grows best in calcareous soil.
