Sambucus nigra 'Golden Tower' is a deciduous upright shrub. The foliage of this variety is a distinctive golden colour, and it's upright nature ensures it grows narrow and tall, hence its name. The spectacular colour is coupled with the perfectly incised leaves that give it a fine texture throughout spring and summer, closely followed by small clusters of fragrant white flowers which give way to glossy black berries in autumn, attracting all manner of birds to your garden. Ideal as part of a border or mixed hedge garden, this variety is suited to most soils and requires little to no pruning. The Elder Golden Tower Shrub is ideal for a smaller garden or a restricted space, growing to a height of 3m and a spread of 1m in a 20 year period. It is perfect to plant next to a patio where the stunning display of white flowers will delight the eye in the summer months. Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ features elegant, deeply cut leaves that are a lovely golden-yellow colour, giving it its name. It has an upright and slender habit, ideal for limited spaces or a dull corner that needs some love and attention. In summer, masses of delicate, small white flowers appear creating a fairytale frothy display. As autumn approaches, the flowers are followed by berries that have an attractive red hue, contrasting perfectly against the golden-yellow foliage. Plant your Elder Golden Tower Shrub in moist but well-drained soil. It will grow in full or part sun, bringing interest into your garden in summer and autumn. If you are searching for a unique gift idea for a friend, offering a plant is a truly sentimental gesture and the Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ is the perfect choice. It is easy to grow and will become a favourite feature in a garden.
