Another stunning Sambucus! Newly emerging leaves are bright copper-red and gradually age to a soft limy yellow. Add amazing serrated leaves, creamy white flat heads of flowers, black berries and stunning autumn colour and you have it all!. Good in most sites including semi shade (although the colour may not be so good). Height 2-3m (6-10')
