The yellow-leaved answer to the popular Black Lace® elderberry by Proven Winners, Lemony Lace® elderberry produces profuse white lacecap flowers in the early spring, followed by an excellent show of bright, lemon-yellow lace-leaf foliage all spring and summer long. Growing to a maximum size of four to seven feet tall, Sambucus racemosa Lemony Lace® is an excellent accent piece throughout the landscape, with flowers providing a great deal of interest to early season pollinators, and red fall fruit attracting birds in the autumn.

Lemony Lace® performs best in full to part sun, and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions while requiring very little maintenance over time. This elderberry selection makes an excellent choice for a pop of color in border hedges and privacy screens, grows well near foundations, and makes an excellent small specimen plant with a lot of ecological appeal.

Note: While proper preparation of elderberry fruits can produce tasty pies, pancakes, jellies, and liqueurs, improperly prepared elderberry can result in intense stomach upset, so care should be taken when planting around children or pets.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
