Amelanchier canadensis Rainbow Pillar

A stunning plant from the Amelanchier genus, Rainbow Pillar grows in a multi-stemmed upright form. It is an ideal plant for a mixed shrub and tree border that is designed with the changing seasons in mind.

Seasonality is the key word with these plants; in late spring ‘Rainbow Pillar’ will be covered in small star shaped white flowers. These flowers are followed by blue black-berries which are great for encouraging bird life into the garden.

In autumn the mid-green leaves that have covered the plant over summer turn a show stopping array of autumnal yellow, red and orange, making this shrub a winner in all planting displays.

Amelanchier likes a slightly acidic to neutral soil, it is tough enough for all aspects and grows in both a sunny and partially shady position, even tolerating exposed windy conditions. In its first season make sure it gets water in dry periods thus aiding root establishment, once bedded down this will make a medium sized shrub reaching four metre plus but will take time to get there.

Supplied in approx. 7.5 Litre containers.
