    Okay, well first I am new here as this is my first post on the forum. I have a few questions about the elderflower (elderberry).
    -what climates are they best suited for?
    -where might i find some reliable elderflower seeds?

    Fast-growing and readily available in nurseries. Should be able to find small starts comparatively cheap, rather than having to bother with seeds. The favored one for edible use in gardens is black elderberry (S. nigra). Multiple named forms selected for fruiting characteristics are grown.
