Add a brilliant splash of color to your landscape with the Red Elderberry. This hardy North American native shrub is a true wildlife magnet, celebrated for its large, cone-shaped clusters of white flowers in the spring and its stunning display of scarlet-red berries in the fall. While the raw berries are toxic, they are a favorite food source for dozens of bird species, bringing life and activity to your garden. It's a fantastic, fast-growing choice for creating a naturalized area or wildlife border.
