Product description
The ‘Laced up’ Elderberry variety is a gorgeous deciduous fruiting shrub that is hardy, easy to take care of and suitable for small spaces. Its lacy, slender dark green foliage acts as an attractive backdrop for the delicate, light pink flowers released in early summer.
The blooms will attract butterflies and other pollinators, and turn into black edible fruit - the plant is partially self-fertile, but the chances improve if a pollinator elderberry is close.
Low maintenance, versatile and good looking, the Sambucus will do well as a border plant, screening, or grown in a patio container.
Any part of the plant may cause digestive discomfort if ingested. The berries, when ripe and cooked, are suitable for consumption.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Sambucus annually in late winter to maintain shape and encourage healthy new growth.
How to Water
Water Sambucus regularly, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. Once established, it is somewhat drought-tolerant.
How to Plant
Plant Sambucus in a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space plants 180-240cm apart, depending on variety.
