Sambucus 'Sutherland Gold'

Sutherland Gold Elderberry

Sutherland Gold Elderberry supplies a broad patch of bright foliage with an unusually fine texture. New leaves open with copper tones, develop golden color, and become more lime green as summer progresses.

Deep cuts in the leaflets give this substantial, many-stemmed shrub a light appearance. Creamy white flower clusters appear in spring, followed by glossy red fruit that attracts birds.

Provide bright partial shade and adequately moist soil. Allow space for the mature branches to spread, using the foliage as a contrast to darker shrubs in a mixed border.
