$16.95

Adams Elder, Sambucus canadensis 'Adams', is a broad rounded shrub with white flowers. It blooms in June, followed by clusters of blue to black berries in August. The berries are excellent for making pies, jam and wine. This deciduous, upright shrub grows to 12' tall and wide. It is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds. Water regularly and do not overwater since it requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. A vigorous productive plant, it is only partially self-fertile and so needs a pollinator. Fruit set is improved when more than one cultivar is planted. It can tolerate atmospheric pollution. ... additional info

Adams Needle The Adams Needle bush, Yucca filamentosa, has stiff evergreen rosettes and are part of the scene in hot dry Central and North American scrublands. Yuccas are hardier than they appear, and only fail in cold exposed inland positions, where they are better grown as container plants. Otherwise they are handsome architectural foliage plants for dry, sunny borders. This variety has a white edge. Yucca filamentosa makes dense clumps of stiff leaves 30 inches or so long and edged with fine curly hairs. The remarkable flower-spikes, 6' or more high, appear when plants are five or more years old.
