Lemony Lace Elderberry is a flowering shrub native to North America. Considered one of the most stunning elderberry bushes, it blooms with big clusters of white flowers in early spring before the foliage emerges.
The foliage is more deeply cut than other elderberries. The finely dissected foliage creates a compact, shaggy mound that makes the plant perfect for wildlife gardens. The leaves have interesting thread-like foliage texture, emerging in bright yellow edged in red. The bright yellow leaves give the lemony lace elderberry its name. As the foliage ages, it turns into a distinctive golden that slowly settles as green foliage. The fall also yields red fruit from the white spring flowers.
Aesthetically, you'd be hard-pressed to find competition for this bright and stylish plant. The plant blooms so brightly, it's a miniature sun in mass plantings, mixed borders, or as a high-impact specimen plant.
This North American native is also low maintenance and tough. It's hardy in zones 4-7. The full sun is best for it in northern climates, but in warmer climates, it should be planted in partial shade, though that might reduce flower production. Well-drained soils are best for it.
Lemony Lace Elderberry is very distinguished with every color it bears and its very shape. It'll bring a dash of light to any landscape. Order yours from Shruhbhub today to lay assured you'll receive your plant in the best shape and health possible.

Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Lemony Lace Elderberry
Lemony Lace Elderberry (Sambucus racemosa 'SMNSRD4') is a self-fertile variety, which means that it has both male and female reproductive organs and is capable of producing fruit without another plant nearby for cross-pollination.
However, planting multiple elderberry plants of different varieties can increase yield and fruit size due to increased pollination. Different varieties of elderberry bloom at slightly different times, so planting a mix of early, mid, and late blooming varieties can ensure adequate cross-pollination.
Elderberry flowers are pollinated primarily by bees, but also by other insects such as butterflies and moths. Providing a diverse range of flowering plants in the vicinity can attract pollinators and increase pollination rates.
In addition to natural pollination, hand pollination can be done by transferring pollen from the male to the female flowers using a small paintbrush or Q-tip.
Proper pollination is essential for a good fruit set and yield, so if you are planting Lemony Lace Elderberry for fruit production, it is important to consider pollination requirements and plant multiple varieties for optimal results.
