Sambucus canadensis 'Aurea' (American Elderberry)

Sambucus canadensis 'Aurea', commonly known as American Elderberry, is a deciduous shrub that is native to North America. It is known for its beautiful golden foliage, which emerges in the spring and turns greenish-yellow as the season progresses. In late spring, it produces clusters of creamy white flowers that are followed by small black berries. The berries are attractive to birds and can be used to make jams, jellies, and wines.
