I have one of these currently in a 37cm Terracotta Pot. Only planted it in the Summer.
Its doing fine however I'm wondering if the pot will eventually become a bit small. What size container should I be using or would I be better finding a spot in the garden for it?
Sutherlands Gold sounds good, I'll give it some thought. Thanks Verdun
I don't do long term plants in pots Matt, I just keep them in there for a season when they look good then plant out and get something else for a pot. They are big shrubs and might start to look a bit pinched in a pot for too long
Will I get the flowers though? I saw a 4 year old specimen in late June this year and the flowers were beautiful but my garden is quite small so I guess I'll keep it cut.
I have a black lace elderberry and 2 samdal and a samyl elderberry. They are all at least 4 years old. They have never grown. Are all under 18". Don't look sick, have good soil, are fertilized and watered. I have read everything I can find about how to grow and have followed. I have large patch of american elderberry that does great - grows freely and is very productive. Could someone telle what I am missing? The Black Lace and the other european are not in same area, yet their growth is the same.

I'll consider planting it out in early Spring then
