Product Description
Sambucus ebulus, also known as danewort, dane weed, danesblood, dwarf elder or European dwarf elder, walewort, dwarf elderberry, elderwort and blood hilder, is a herbaceous species of elder, native to southern and central Europe and southwest Asia.
ambucus ebulus grows to a height of 1–2 m and has erect, usually unbranched stems growing in large groups from an extensive perennial underground stem rhizome.
The name danewort comes from the belief that it only grows on the sites of battles that involved the Danes.
The term ‘walewort’ or ‘walwort’ meant ‘foreigner plant’.
The plant’s stems and leaves turn red in autumn and this may explain the link with blood.
The word Dane may link to an old term for diarrhoea.
