Elderberry 'Lemony Lace' PW

Sambucus racemosa 'Lemony Lace' PW

Lemony Lace® offers finely dissected foliage but in a cheery gold color to really light up your landscape. This North American native produces big clusters of white flowers in early spring before the foliage emerges, then bright yellow leaves take over, edged in red. As the foliage ages, it turns an attractive chartreuse. Though it is a large plant, it can be pruned to stay smaller if you'd like. Berries follow the flowers, if a compatible pollinator is nearby (look for S. Black Beauty®, Laced Up®, or Black Lace®). Fast growth rate.
