Sambucus racemosa 'Smnsrd4' LEMONY LACE
Overview
Elderberry (Sambucus racemosa 'Smnsrd4' LEMONY LACE) is a compact and undemanding shrub, perfect for small gardens and cramped spaces. It grows to around 2 meters but rarely exceeds 3 meters in height, making it suitable for medium-sized gardens and pots. Its rounded, deciduous foliage is deep green with yellowish veins and a lighter green on the underside. Its fragrant white flowers in mid- to late summer are followed by clusters of dark red berries in autumn. Lemony LACE brings a hint of citrus to your garden with its subtly fragrant, bright yellow-green foliage. A fantastic companion plant for other shrubs and trees, it's a great choice for pollinators.
