Elderberry Thundercloud, Sambucus nigra 'Thundercloud', has foliage that reveals its burgundy colors best if grown in the full sun. This burgundy foliage is enhanced by true reddish pink flowers Then these pink flowers give way to dark fruits, which are enjoyed by the song birds. To produce the best colored leaves, prune plants back to ground level every year in early spring. Best grown in medium to wet, well drained soils in full sun to part shade. Thundercloud tolerates a wide range of soils, but prefers moist, humusy ones. Spreads by root suckers to form large colonies. Use for shrub borders, screens or backgrounds.
