  • Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ is a striking, upright elder that really stands out in the garden. Unlike traditional spreading elder varieties, this one has a slim, column-like shape, making it ideal for smaller gardens or where space is limited. Its finely cut, golden-yellow foliage brings a bright splash of colour from spring through summer, almost glowing in the sunlight.

  • In early summer, clusters of soft pink flowers appear against the golden leaves, creating a lovely contrast. These are followed by dark berries later in the season, adding further interest and attracting wildlife. It’s a fantastic plant for adding height and colour without taking over the border.

    Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.

    Top tip

    Remove damaged or spent growth as it appears and keep the area around the plant free from weeds so air and light can reach the base. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
