Product Details

Product Details

The striking Sambucus racemosa Lemony Lace® is an Elderberry plant with chartreuse, deeply cut foliage that catches even the slightest breeze. It creates a vibrant, feathery mound in the garden all season, and its red fruit attracts birds in autumn. A Proven Winners®/Color Choice® variety. 'SMNSRD4' PP 26,613

Elders are a diverse group, primarily comprising hardy deciduous trees and shrubs, along with a few herbaceous members. They come from North America, Asia, and Europe and are known for their large heads of white or cream-colored flowers. These are followed by red, purple-black, or blue fruits, which are well regarded for making cordials and preserves. The leaves are pinnate and the more ornamental varieties have elegantly cut leaflets or variegated or colored foliage. In general, Elders are trouble-free plants, happy in ordinary soil and needing only a late-winter pruning to maintain their size and shape.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

One of my favorites

I have had this shrub for two years now and it is one of my favorites in my garden. Always bright and beautiful with pagoda shaped growth and a graceful drape. LOVE IT.

New Arrival Speeds to Grow!!

I received a much larger Sambucus than expected. Since we had snow on the ground I placed it in front of french doors and watched it grow - rapidly! The branches developed are nice and strong - and it has almost doubled in size in about 2 weeks! It is hardening off on our deck and will be planted in the ground this week. I have no doubt this will excell! Great plant stock -I'm very impressed. Thank you for this Proven Winners shrub. I highly recommend.

Need water information

Can't seem to find any water requirements for this plant on this site. Soil, water, sun are the three basics of information that a gardener needs to begin to consider any plant.

Sambucus racemosa

The key word in the description is deer “resistant”, not deer “proof”. Having lived with deer for 50 years I have developed the following idea: each year a NEW deer family calls my acreage “home”. (They even give birth in my driveway and hide their young on my porch). Mother deer teaches her young what to eat. What was deer resistant last year is less resistant this year. Therefore, I spray my plants with deer repellent for the first months, and then, watch the deer circumvent my garden and go to my neighbors’ garden. Mother teaching deer that my garden is disgusting due to repellent spray.

I Had My Doubts

I planted this Sambucus in July of last year and it really seemed to struggle. Every time it produced a new leaf, it seemed one would turn brown and die. I had my doubts it would break dormancy this spring, but I am so pleased to report it is now 4 feet wide and high and the color is beautiful!
