Sambucus racemosa ‘Sutherland Gold’

Sambucus racemosa ‘Sutherland Gold’ is a real improvement on S. r. ‘Plumosa Aurea’ (which we no longer grow). Both are vigorous, soft, golden-leaved shrubs but ‘Sutherland Gold’ has much more finely divided foliage, and, most importantly, will not scorch in hot sun. It will grow anywhere (well, it is an elder), including shade, and is tolerant of hard pruning when necessary.
