Sambucus racemosa

A hardy, multi-stemmed native shrub valued for its striking appearance, ecological benefits, and cultural significance. In early summer, it produces vibrant clusters of red berries that are loved by birds and other wildlife. While the raw berries are toxic to humans, they become edible once cooked. This resilient perennial thrives in shaded woodland settings and garden borders, adding rich colour and feeding wildlife.

This is our first year using your seeds and we love them!

Locally produced, women owned, supporting other local causes, and promoting native pollinators and plants are all cherry on top reasons why I’ll be purchasing more in future seasons!

Thank you - you do a great job.

I have lots of healthy Anise Hyssop seedlings. I think every seed germinated and they are thriving, I have enough to sell at our hospital charity fundraiser and share with friends.
