Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis)
Yes, this is THAT elderberry! Make your own elderberry syrup right at home before the next cold and flu season. This tough-as-nails native shrub is created for erosion control, tolerates wet, clay soil, and is certain to thrive in your home garden. Large, fragrant white flowers appear in June and July, beckoning butterflies to your backyard. In late summer, the large purple berries (drupes) form that will have birds fluttering around these plants. If you can beat the birds to them, you can brew these berries into elderberry syrup! A very tolerant shrub, elderberry can be cut back in late winter to keep your shrub neat and tidy. This plant is an excellent spreader and will happily naturalize to fill whatever space you give it. Unwanted suckers can be pruned as needed.
