Botanical Properties of Elderflowers
Botanically, elderflowers are the blossoms of the Sambucus tree, native to Europe and North America. These small, white, star-shaped flowers grow in clusters and bloom in late spring to early summer. The elder tree thrives in a variety of environments, often found in woodlands, hedgerows, and gardens. The flowers are not only visually striking but also emit a delicate, sweet fragrance. They are harvested for both culinary and medicinal uses, often transformed into syrups, wines, and soothing herbal remedies.
