Garden shrubs - fancy a new one? Some of mine that are looking fab this year.
End May/June flowering
Black Sambuca- I love this elder at the moment and is also fab for cordial.
Another elder variegated- brightens up a shady corner and again it you can use the flowers. I have tried the berries in chutney - not that impressed to be honest.
Physocarpus - this is a lovely shrub and is great for cutting for the vase. The coppery colour leaves look amazing in the border.
