Sambucus ‘Lemony Lace’ (Elderberry)

Sambucus ‘Lemony Lace’ (Elderberry)

Bright, finely cut foliage gives this Sambucus a soft, textured look in the landscape. Golden-green leaves emerge with contrasting red new growth, creating a layered effect that stands out in borders or as a focal point. In spring, airy clusters of lacy white flowers appear, followed by vibrant red berries that persist into fall and early winter.

This medium-sized shrub works well in mixed plantings or as a specimen, and it provides seasonal interest while supporting local wildlife.
