Description
Adams Elderberry is a hardy, fast-growing shrub ideal for Massachusetts gardens. In early summer, clusters of creamy white flowers bloom, attracting pollinators before giving way to an abundance of deep purple berries in fall. The dark green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest to landscapes.
This elderberry variety is not only an eye-catching ornamental but also a reliable source of fruit for jams, wine, and preserves. It thrives in various soil conditions and requires minimal care, making it a great low-maintenance addition. Adams Elderberry tends to sucker, creating a naturalized look perfect for hedgerows and wildlife-friendly gardens.
