The 'Marge' elderberry is a robust, fruitful hybrid (Sambucus nigra x canadensis) recognized for its large, dark, succulent berries that are ideal for making syrups, jams, and wine, while providing immune-boosting antioxidants and attracting pollinators. It is hardy (Zones 4-9), thrives in full sun, requires moist soil, and is partially self-fertile, though it produces heavier yields when cross-pollinated. Developed by Marge Millican at Wyldewood Cellars, it is a dependable option for gardens.
