About European, Elderberry Seed
Cordials, teas, syrups, jams and wines all start with European Elderberry, a vigorous, multi-stemmed shrub prized for both its flowers and fruit. Sambucus nigra bears broad, flat clusters of creamy white, fragrant blossoms in early summer, followed by heavy bunches of glossy purple-black berries. The flowers go into cordials and teas, and the berries, once cooked, become excellent syrups, jams and wines. Fast growing and adaptable, it fits hedgerows, edible landscapes and wildlife gardens alike.
