{"product_id":"pink-pony-elderberry","title":"Pink Pony™ Elderberry","description":"\u003cp\u003ePink Pony™ Elderberry (Sambucus nigra 'Pink Pony') is a deciduous shrub with dark purple-black foliage and abundant clusters of pale purple-pink flowers in summer. It grows 6 to 10 feet tall and wide with a dense, lush habit, and it is hardy in zones 4 through 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe near-black leaves give a garden instant contrast, and they hold their color from spring until frost, deepest in cool summer climates. In summer the soft pink flower clusters stand out against the dark foliage. Plant a Black Lace® or Laced Up® elderberry nearby and the flowers are followed by dark berries that birds love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as a specimen, a living screen, in groups or masses, or toward the back of a shrub and perennial border. It also works in a large patio container. Space plants 6 to 10 feet apart, and it handles wet spots well, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it in full sun to part sun. It does best in moist soil but tolerates dry spells, clay and both acidic and alkaline ground, and deer tend to leave it alone. Prune right after it blooms. Elderberry can be toxic to pets if eaten, so plant it where pets do not graze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Pink Pony™ Elderberry to your cart for dark, dramatic foliage and pink summer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62529976336754,"sku":"24209","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/pink-pony-elderberry","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
