Family
Rosaceae

Amelanchier × grandiflora 'Robin Hill', also known as the 'Robin Hill' serviceberry, is a delicate and luminous ornamental selection, renowned for its pale pink flowers that bloom in spring, elegantly contrasting with its coppery foliage upon emergence. In summer, the leaves turn medium green, then transform into shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn, offering a rich seasonal spectacle. It also produces small, edible, blue-black fruits, much appreciated by birds. Its naturally rounded and open habit, reliable hardiness, and slightly rosy flowering, rare among serviceberries, make it an excellent choice for solitary plantings, informal hedges, or naturalistic gardens. Easy to grow, 'Robin Hill' adapts well to Quebec conditions, while bringing a soft and nuanced floral touch to the landscape.
