Sambucus is a genus of fast-growing, multi-stemmed shrubs and small trees known for their vigorous growth habit and architectural presence. These versatile plants feature pinnately compound foliage that ranges from deep green to striking shades of purple, gold, or variegated patterns. In late spring, they produce large, frothy clusters of cream-colored flowers, followed by dark, edible berries used in jams and wines. They thrive in sun to partial shade and prefer moist, rich soils.
