Collection: Sambucus

Explore the most extensive Sambucus (elder) collection in the UK, curated by Ed Brown, the Plant Heritage National Collection Holder of Sambucus in Worcestershire. With 147 named varieties, including rare, exclusive, and one-of-a-kind hybrids, this collection is unmatched in diversity and quality.

As a recognised Sambucus specialist and a featured guest on BBC Countryfile, I'm dedicated to growing, preserving, and sharing the very best elder plants. From ornamental dark-leaved cultivars to fragrant pink-blushed flowers and fast-growing statement plants, each variety has been carefully selected for garden impact, wildlife benefits, and even culinary use.
