Sambucus nigra 'Instant Karma'


Elderberry

Variegated va-va-voom! Brighten your garden with Instant KarmaŽ elderberry. A major improvement over older variegated elderberries, Instant Karma offers neat, clean foliage of interplaying green and white. Large, lacy flower clusters appear in early summer, and if a pollinator variety (like Black LaceŽ or Black BeautyŽ elderberry) is present, you'll get a crop of purple-black fruit in autumn. This versatile plant can be grown as a small tree or large shrub - it even plays nice in a perennial garden if it is cut back each year for a handsome spray of bright foliage.
