Description
Mexican Elderberry seeds describe a perennial shrub that can brighten garden beds, borders or wildlife spaces and even large containers with support. Sow 0.5-1 cm deep in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to light shade, and expect germination in 14-21 days. Space plants 2-3 m apart to allow spreading, with moderate watering and a let-dry between waterings. They grow best in 16-26°C; flowers appear 2-3 years after sowing, and berries mature 60-90 days after flowering. Regular pruning helps maintain size and shape, and protect plants from strong frost in very cold climates.
