Red Elderberry

Tango Weigela is one of the smallest weigelas. Its compact form makes it ideal for urban yards or areas with limited space. The red, funnel shaped flowers with yellow throats are eye catching and fragrant. Good for borders, hedges, and foundation plantings, you'll love this new addition to your yard.

Red Elderberry is an attractive, medium-sized deciduous shrub.

It produces clusters of white flowers in the spring and bright red berry-like drupes, which provide beautiful contrast against its coarse, textured green foliage.

Red Elder can be pruned as a small single or multi-stemmed tree.
