Sambucus Lemony Lace® #3

A bright and stylish, deer resistant plant, Lemony Lace® offers finely dissected foliage in a cheery gold color to really light up your landscape. This North American native produces big clusters of white flowers in spring before the foliage emerges, then bright yellow leaves take over, edged in red. The foliage ages to an attractive chartreuse. Although it can grow into an irregular mound 4-7' tall and wide, it benefits from a hard pruning in early spring (after flowering if you wish to wait for that) to develop a nice full habit. Older plants can be trimmed back after flowering. Plant in sun to part shade. Afternoon shade may keep the yellow foliage from burning during hot, dry spells. Hardy to Zone 4
