One of my favorite herbs in the garden is my cutleaf elderberry (
Sambucus canadensis). I bought it at one of my favorite herb farms
Mulberry Creek Herb Farm out near Cedar Point. They describe the cutleaf elderberry as and I quote from them:
Think of this plant as an inexpensive, faster growing green "Japanese Maple" that blooms in June. Purist might pale at such a comparison, however, for "Japanese Maple" challenged gardeners, it is definitely hardier to wind and temperature. With finely cut leaves and blooms as attractive to bees as it is to fritter-lovin' folks, it is not a second rate choice.
It is a great plant for the garden. Mine is doing well even with the shade it is getting from the Chinese Chestnut tree. Hope you are having a great day wherever you may be. Talk to you later.
