The Common Elder flowers in the UK in June. This is the time to pick them for your wines and cordials. You can recognise them by their often large, flat sprays of small white flowers suddenly appearing in hedgerows etc.

Hello Caroline.
Elder is the common name of Sambuccus and i assume you're asking about Common Elder 'Sambuccus nigra'?
It produces flattened heads of fragrant, creamy-white flowers in early summer, followed by black fruits.
Red berried Elder flowers in mid-spring, and American Elder in mid-summer. I hope that helps, x

Elder bushes are in flower in June, and you'll see them all over the place, their flat, white flower heads on display.
