Description
Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ is a striking, upright elder that really stands out in the garden. Unlike traditional spreading elder varieties, this one has a slim, column-like shape, making it ideal for smaller gardens or where space is limited. Its finely cut, golden-yellow foliage brings a bright splash of colour from spring through summer, almost glowing in the sunlight.
In early summer, clusters of soft pink flowers appear against the golden leaves, creating a lovely contrast. These are followed by dark berries later in the season, adding further interest and attracting wildlife. It’s a fantastic plant for adding height and colour without taking over the border.
