Grow your own nutrient-rich berries with this set of 3 American Elderberry plants (Sambucus canadensis), a fast-growing native deciduous shrub ideal for edible landscapes and wildlife-friendly gardens. These live plants arrive bare root and are typically 12–24 inches tall, ready to plant.

Elderberry plants produce clusters of small white flowers followed by dark purple berries commonly used in syrups, jams, and herbal remedies. Naturally multi-stemmed, they are suitable for hedgerows, naturalized plantings, and pollinator gardens.

This hardy and adaptable shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-draining soil. It prefers moderate to high watering and grows quickly to a mature height of 5–12 feet. USDA zones 3–9. Container friendly in early stages.

Note: Ships bare root with no pot or soil included.

Care Tip: Plant multiple shrubs together for improved pollination and fruit production. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season.
