Scarify seeds by soaking in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist. Germination can be slow and uneven. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant to a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElderberry shrubs benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove dead wood.
