Description

Deeply cut golden foliage on a compact plant distinguishes Sambucus ‘Welsh Gold’ from other varieties. Although other yellow-leaved cultivars are available, ‘Welsh Gold’ has the benefit of very finely divided, beautifully feathery foliage, a luminous yellow-green colour and a stature of only around 120cm. This winning combination makes it perfect for smaller borders which other varieties would outgrow. In spring, the young foliage emerges with a bronze flush before maturing to chartreuse. In summer, further interest is provided by flat umbels of frothy white flowers followed by red-orange pendulous berries. Sambucus racemosa ‘Welsh Gold’ is an easy and reliable, disease-free shrub that makes an attractive foliage feature for mixed borders or a solitary focal specimen. It is particularly useful for illuminating woodland-type borders in partial shade. Height: 120cm (4ft). Spread: 1m (39in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Grow Sambucus in any moist but well drained soil in full sun or dappled shade, plants will also survive on poor, chalky soils.
More Info
Sambucus plants require very little pruning except for general maintenance and shaping in winter. However, if they become too large after a few years, they will also respond well to hard, restrictive pruning. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
