American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is a fantastic addition to any landscape, offering a plethora of benefits. Its showy, fragrant clusters of white flowers in summer add a burst of visual appeal, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees. These blossoms transform into edible, deep-purple berries in late summer and fall, loved by birds and excellent for making syrups, jams, and even wine.
It’s a hardy, adaptable plant. It thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade and can handle both moist and dry soils, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings. This fast-growing, multi-stemmed shrub can reach up to 12 feet in height, creating a lovely naturalizing effect, which works beautifully as a privacy screen or informal hedge. With its ornamental value, contribution to wildlife, and edible appeal, the American Elderberry earns its place as a versatile and desirable landscape plant.
