Lemony Lace® Elderberry is a striking and low-maintenance shrub that brings vibrant color and texture to your garden. In spring, it produces large clusters of white flowers, followed by finely textured gold foliage that gradually turns chartreuse as it matures. As new growth emerges, the edges of the leaves take on a beautiful red hue, adding even more dimension. Come fall, red berries appear, making it a wonderful addition to wildlife gardens and providing a pop of color. This North American native is deer-resistant and requires little to no care, though it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size if desired. Perfect for adding beauty and versatility to any landscape!

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Benefits from hard pruning as a young plant to develop a nice full habit. Older plants can be trimmed after flowering.
