Black Lace ‘Elder berry’ (sambucus)’-2gal

Description

Sambucus ‘Black Lace’ is a striking ornamental shrub with deep purple-black, almost black foliage that creates a dramatic contrast in the garden. In early summer, it produces delicate, lacy clusters of pinkish-white flowers that attract pollinators. As the season progresses, it develops dark purple berries, which can be used for making jams or syrups. Reaching 5–6 feet tall and wide, ‘Black Lace’ is perfect for adding color and texture to borders, woodland gardens, or as a focal point. It thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, offering both visual interest and low-maintenance beauty.
