Sambucus – Pink Pony Elderberry

Bring dramatic color and form with Pink Pony Elderberry, Sambucus. This Elderberry has long-blooming, vivid pink flowers that resist fading. When the bright flowers begin to bloom, a striking vision emerges with the contrasting dark, bluish-black foliage. The vibrant summer flowers are followed by deep red fall fruit when planted with another Elderberry for cross-pollination. Pink Pony Elderberry grows into a stunning, large shrub with lacy, dark foliage. The dark leaves are a stunning contrast to the typical leaf colors and shapes. Growing 6-10′ tall and wide, Pink Pony Elderberry is an excellent choice for softening walls or creating a showy, unique privacy hedge. While tolerant of part shade, plant in the sunniest spot to get the best foliage color. An outstanding member of the high-performing Proven Winners plant series. These disease-resistant plants are rigorously tested to ensure exceptional color and outstanding garden performance.   Plant Elderberry in sun to part shade locations in well-drained to wet soils. Tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers moist to wet locations. To ensure a heavy harvest of dark, edible berries, plant your Elderberry alongside a different Sanbucus nigra variety—such as Black Beauty, Instant Karma, Black Lace, or Laced Up—to allow for successful cross-pollination.
