American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) produces large, flat-topped clusters of white flowers in summer followed by dark purple berries widely used for syrups, jams, and wine. It is a fast-growing, adaptable native shrub that thrives in moist soils and full to part sun. It blooms in early-to-mid summer and grows best in full sun to part shade with moist, fertile soil.
