Hardy Elderberry Plant with Edible Fruit and Lovely Aroma

Growing your own elderberries has never been easier—or more rewarding—than with the Marge Elderberry! This variety is resistant to pests, diseases, and harsh climates, so you can enjoy heavy blooms and abundant fruit production year after year. Plus, it features a lovely fragrance and gorgeous white flowers that contrast beautifully with its deep purple berries.

This heavy-blooming elderberry plant is aromatic and hardy, delivering seasons of high fruit yields. Its resistance to pests and diseases includes protection against Ericoid Mites, and its durable foliage can withstand even dry and cold climates.

Since this variety is self-pollinating, you'll enjoy reliable flowers and fruit from established branches with minimal effort. The striking white blooms appear in early summer, followed by a late-summer harvest of dark berries. The berries are most commonly cooked into jams, jellies, syrups, and juices before being consumed in quantity, making them a favorite for home preserves and recipes. As an added bonus, the plant develops attractive fall color for extended seasonal interest.

If you’re ready to start your own elderberry grove, the easy-to-maintain Marge Elderberry is an excellent choice. Order yours today!

The Elderberry Bush is growing

The Elderberry Bush is growing new growth after only a few days. I will be buying more plants.

Beautiful plant, full and healthy

Plant came to us healthy and full. Beautiful! Unfortunately, deer ate most of the leaves before we got the cage around it. I hope it survives with the extra care we are giving it. It came to us better than expected
