The Pacific Northwest blue elderberry that , as a child, I was so fascinated with a myriad of fanciful projects found use for their hollow stems. It is a tall upright, deciduous shrub, with foamy creamy-white summer flowers and blue fruit covered with a gray bloom in late summer. It can make a nice elderflower cordial or berries can be used as well. Birds will thank you for the fruit if you don't have time to process them.

Deciduous shrub: 20-30 ft T x W

Minimum temperature: -30° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
