Sambucus nigra 'Witch's Broom'Witch's Broom European elderberryCODE: 059-0002ZONE: 5a PRICE: $11.00 POT SIZE: 4.5"sq x 5.0", 1004 ml For those of you who want to grow elderberries but don't have much room, this is the answer! 'Witch's Broom' is a dwarf selection that doesn't get any taller than 18 inches, forming a dense, rounded ball of lacy dark green leaves. It rarely blooms or produces fruit (so forget the elderberry jam), but it's definitely interesting and is perfect in rock gardens, as a small accent, or en masse as a ground cover. Try it with Achillea tomentosa 'Aurea'. If you like unusual plants, this one is a must. |
