Elderberry Shrubs

Elderberry shrubs (Sambucus) are fast-growing, multi-functional plants known for their clusters of white flowers followed by dark, edible berries. Their bold foliage and natural growth habit make them excellent for edible landscapes and wildlife gardens.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, they prefer moist, well-draining soil and are fast growing, pollinator-friendly, and productive outdoor shrubs.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune in late winter to remove older canes and encourage vigorous new growth. Water regularly, especially during fruit development, and fertilize in early spring.
