Sambucus ebulus - Danewort Maple This is a understory plantOne of the more unusual species of elderberry genus is Sambucus ebulus. Know by a variety of different common names such as Danewort, Dane weed or plain Dwarf Elder, but my favourite is the Blood Hilder. A native throughout Europe to the Himalayas is only grows to about 1m and spreads by underground rhizomes. It dies back with the winter frosts only to reemerge in spring. Rarely offered in Australia.
