Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description Dare to be different - plant Laced Up elderberry (Sambucus nigra). This selection from Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs is unlike anything you've seen before: it naturally grows as a narrow column of finely dissected purple foliage. That columnar habit makes it a real space-saver in the landscape, and it takes up only a few square feet of ground space yet packs in tons of beauty and interest. In early summer, pink flower clusters top the branches. This is definitely a plant that will make passers-by ask, "what is that?!" If you want berries to form on this elderberry, you need to plant a different variety to pollinate it - you can choose from Black Lace, Black Beauty, and Instant Karma. Plant them anywhere within 50' of another, though closer is preferable to ensure best pollination. Both plants will get berries. *Berries should only be used for ornamental purposes, not to be ingested. Details How To Grow

A perfect elderberry.

I ordered a one-quart pot and it arrived in perfect condition. The plant is already thriving in the ground, and I can’t wait to see it grow over the coming years. Laced Up is supposed to be a perfect companion for Black Lace if you want pollination, so you’ll get berries for your local wildlife if that’s your thing.

beautiful

really love these plants. unique and lovely. the plants themselves arrived in very good condition despite a delay in delivery by the post office. the box was left upside down on our porch so there was some spillage, etc. and we worried the plants would be in bad shape, but they were okay and we were able to regather most of the soil. USPS really isn't a great way to ship these. But the plants are thriving and we are very happy.
