The Elderberry plant is a beautiful shrub that is a great addition to any garden. Known for its medicinal properties, it features lovely white flowers and produces edible berries. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone interested in cultivating a functional garden species. 

Elderberry Plant Offers Many Uses

Because of their evolutionary history, elderberries are hardy almost anywhere you put them. They are also native shrub species. This shrub is highly sought after because it attracts wildlife and provides raw inputs for jams and herbal remedies.

Growing And Care Instructions 

It is easy to grow and care for, making it a top choice for many homeowners wanting to transform their outdoor spaces. It likes relatively dry and well-maintained soils but is adaptable, with mature shrubs surviving in sunny and shady environments, where necessary.

Seasonal Benefits 

These shrubs bloom during the spring and late summer, developing clusters of sweet-smelling white flowers that presage the arrival of dark purple, almost black berries later in the year. These shrubs add variety to gardens, making it more likely that pollinators will start calling the place you plant them home.

Producing and Harvesting

During the late summer, dark berries start to appear on the stalks. Following traditional recipes online, you can harvest these to make various syrups and jams. After the peak seasons, elderberries remain green and attractive for the rest of the year. For this reason, it can provide an attractive backdrop to most garden areas, making it a highly versatile shrub with landscaping appeal.

 Sizing And Specs

Packaging was really great. Roots were wrapped, and kept moist during shipping. Had new leaves already starting. Can’t wait to see how much they grow this first year.
