Elder hedging, or Sambucus nigra hedge plants to use the Latin name, brings a lot to a garden. The fragrant flowers appear in summer and the small, black elderberries that follow are high in vitamin C. Sambucus nigra also boasts dark green foliage that turns a lovely yellow in autumn.

The plants look healthy and were a good size, but I think that they have suffered some frost damage, which I am hoping they will recover from.
