Missouri-Grown Elderberry Plants – Pickup Only (KC Northland)

Pickup May 2026
Rooted elderberry plants typically will be ready in May. We hold plants until this time to allow sufficient early-season growth, which helps ensure strong establishment once transplanted.
If you would like your plants earlier than May, please send us a message before ordering. When possible, we’re happy to accommodate early pickup requests.
