Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Similar to S. 'Black Tower' but bright golden yellow foliage. Great for a pop of color in a narrow place.

By: Gossler Farms

Glowing column of lacy, shimmering yellow, deciduous foliage 8-10’ tall and 3’ wide. White umbels of flowers in early summer attract bees, butterflies and hummers. If another Sambucus pollinating cultivar is nearby, red berries may follow flowers. Full sun to part shade, most soils, moderate moisture but drought tolerant and deer/critter resistant.
