Pink Pony™ elderberry stands out with pale purple-pink flowers that resist fading and bloom for an impressively long time. Their brightness plays beautifully against the plant’s consistently dark, bluish-black foliage for a striking garden display. In late summer and fall, the blooms transition to deep red fruit when paired with compatible pollinators such as Instant Karma®, Black Lace®, or Laced Up® elderberry.
