PINK PONY™ Elderberry

When the word “bold” is mentioned in the plant world, usually it refers to flower or foliage color. In Pink Pony elderberry’s case, it’s both. This fabulous compact shrub features foliage the color of black licorice, dramatic and steadfast. Its flowers are the sweetest shade of pale purple as contrast. When planted near a genetically different Sambucus nigra, those flowers will turn into dark burgundy-black berries. Each feature is gorgeous in its own right. Its habit is more lush than other varieties of elderberry, with the leaves growing closer together and the branches having tighter spacing. It looks great in the landscape as well as in a container. While it’s still a large plant, it’s much smaller than the giants of the past.
