LACED UP® Elderberry

Light: Gets the best foliage color and flower set when exposed to a minimum of four hours of sun, up to all day exposure. Soil: Will grow in most soil types. Water: Thrives in a range of conditions and is actually quite drought tolerant once it’s established.Fertilizing: Doesn’t really need fertilizer, but you can apply some in the springtime if you’ve noticed the flower coverage isn’t that impressive.Pruning: Doesn’t typically need pruning to maintain its habit. Flowers form on old wood, berries will develop if a pollinator plant is nearby. Cutting at any time will prevent these attractions from developing. If you need to prune off a leaning branch, do so any time except mid-summer to fall.Other: If you’d like the plant to develop berries, plant with another Sambucus nigra, like Black Lace® elderberry. Also note that foliage and stems are toxic. Flowers and berries can be used, but have the best flavor when processed for .Sambucus native range. Based on the USDA website.
