Sambucus Nigra Golden Tower (‘Jdeboer001’) (PBR) | 2L Pot

A low-maintenance head-turner. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June Hardiness: fully hardy This striking elderberry is perfect for adding height and colour to a smaller garden because its natural habit is slender and upright. The foliage is really pretty too, being deeply incised and if grown in a sunny spot, a bright yellowish green – and in early summer the display is topped off with flattened clusters of white flowers. Garden care: To achieve the best foliage effect cut back to ground level each year in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.
