Planting and care

Plant in full sun (at least 6 hours) to bring out the best leaf colour. Well-drained soil enriched with organic matter helps it establish. Allow generous space, as the shrub quickly reaches its mature size.

Water regularly for the first two years after planting to make sure it takes well. After that, elderberry tolerates moderate dry spells well. Pruning in late winter (February–March), before the leaves come out, keeps the shape and stimulates new stems with spectacular foliage.
