Description: AMERICAN ELDERBERRY. The American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is a deciduous shrub that is native to North America. Each spring the plant is covered with clusters of tiny white flowers that are followed by purplish-black fruit. The flowers and fruit have applications in alternative medicine. You can plant elderberry if your garden is in zones 3 to 10. It is native to eastern North America. This elderberry is 10 to 15 feet tall and wide, growing into a rounded shape. Elderberry shrubs need full sun to partial sun. 30+Seeds per order.Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I keep these seeds at 40F to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably.
