Bring the magic of elderberry to your own backyard. Our organically grown, climate-adapted elderberry shrubs are ready to plant and will reward you for years to come — with a breathtaking display of creamy-white flower clusters in spring, filling the air with the most beautiful, delicate aroma, followed by rich, dark medicinal berries in autumn.

Absolutely gorgeous in full bloom — a true showstopper in any garden.

Fast-Growing — Fully Established in Just a Couple of Years

These are not slow-growing ornamentals. Elderberry shrubs are vigorous, fast-growing plants that will reach their full height of 11 feet (3.5m+) in just a couple of short years — giving you a lush, established hedgerow or privacy screen faster than almost any other plant. Hardy, low maintenance, and built to thrive in the local climate.

Perfect For

  • Hedgerows & privacy screens — grows 11 feet (3.5m+) tall and wide, creating a dense, beautiful natural barrier between you and the neighbours
  • Medicinal gardens — both the flowers and berries are medicinal and have been used in traditional herbal remedies for centuries
  • Wildlife gardens — birds absolutely love the berries, making this a wonderful addition to any wildlife-friendly garden
  • Cottage and food gardens — a stunning ornamental plant that earns its keep

About These Plants

These shrubs are already at least 1 metre tall with strong, well-established root systems — ready to hit the ground running in your garden. Currently priced at $60, the price will be increasing once they are re-potted into larger pots, so now is the perfect time to grab one and save.

Planting & Care Tips

Now through to spring is the ideal time to plant your elderberry shrub. Elderberries thrive in a sunny to part-shade position with well-drained soil and regular watering while establishing. For best results, fertilise regularly during the growing season to encourage lush, vigorous growth and a spectacular flowering display.

Plant 6 feet (approx. 2 metres) apart for a hedgerow or privacy screen effect, or as a standalone feature plant. They respond well to pruning if you want to keep them more compact.
