The Elder Golden Tower Shrub is ideal for a smaller garden or a restricted space, growing to a height of 3m and a spread of 1m in a 20 year period. It is perfect to plant next to a patio where the stunning display of white flowers will delight the eye in the summer months. Sambucus nigra ‘Golden Tower’ features elegant, deeply cut leaves that are a lovely golden-yellow colour, giving it its name.
