Description
Sambucus nigra, commonly known as elder, is a fast-growing native shrub or small tree with pinnate mid-green leaves and broad, flattened clusters of creamy white flowers in early summer. These are followed by glossy black berries in late summer, creating strong seasonal interest and a naturalistic appearance.
It grows well in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soils, including moist conditions near ponds and streams. The nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators, while the berries are highly valued by birds, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting.
