ELDERBERRY
Sambucus spp.
WHY ITâS SPECIALâElderberries are large, early-summer-flowering shrubs that produce edible fruits (when processed). A few varieties have been developed for home gardens, especially ones with lacy leaves. Lemony Lace® (Sambucus racemosa) has finely dissected chartreuse leaves and looks like a Japanese maple. Black Lace® (Sambucus nigra) has similar leaves but in dark burgundy with pink flowers. Laced Up® (S. nigra) has dark, lacy leaves, and a compact, upright habit.
HOW TO PLANT & GROWâPlant in full sun to partial shade in moist soil. Because elderberries like to spread, plant in rain gardens, along low spots in the yard, and in areas where the plant can naturalize. Water to establish.
CARE & PROBLEMSâWater consistently to help the plant get established. It blooms on old wood, so if you need to prune, do so after flowering. Overly long branches also can be cut back during summer. Itâs deer resistant.
SEASONAL INTERESTâEarly summer, flowers; summer and fall, foliage
MATURE SIZE (H à W)â5â12 feet à 4â10 feet (depends on cultivar)
HARDINESSâZones 4â7
