Add a brilliant splash of color to your landscape with the Red Elderberry. This hardy North American native shrub is a true wildlife magnet, celebrated for its large, cone-shaped clusters of white flowers in the spring and its stunning display of scarlet-red berries in the fall.

It's a fantastic, fast-growing choice for creating a naturalized area or wildlife border.
