Sambucus ‘Serenade’ is an upright shrub with a bushy habit and toothed, pinnate leaves that change their colour with the seasons. The foliage will start out with a red flush in the spring, turning vivid green in the summer and finally taking on a rich scarlet come autumn.

During the summer months, you can expect an abundance of panicles full of tiny, fragrant white flowers – these will be followed by round, glossy black fruit. While the plant is partially self-fertile, a pollinator elderberry close by will improve the yield.

Please note: Any part of the plant may cause digestive discomfort if ingested. The berries, when ripe and cooked, are suitable for consumption.
