Kent Elderberry is a hardy fruiting shrub known for its lacy flower heads followed by heavy clusters of dark berries. Kent Elderberry flowers in early summer in shades of white, and performs best in full sun with moderate watering once established. This shrub matures to roughly 6-10 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. It is ideal for edible landscapes, backyard fruit gardens, and mixed borders, offering ornamental appeal and a usable harvest. Easy to establish and straightforward to maintain, Kent Elderberry rewards basic care with a reliable display season after season. A layer of mulch helps hold moisture and keeps roots cool in summer.
