Danewort
Sambucus ebulus
Danewort is a robust, herbaceous perennial that dies back to the ground each winter and re-emerges vigorously in spring — it is best grown in a naturalistic or wildlife garden setting. It tolerates a range of soils and requires very little intervention once established, making it an easy-care choice for low-maintenance borders. Be aware that all parts of this plant are toxic if ingested, so handle with care and keep away from children and pets.
