Description
Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' is a variant of the common elder with striking dark-leaved foliage. During the summer months of June and July, this plant adorns the garden with beautiful pink-white flower clusters. The deeply incised leaves form a beautiful contrast with the flowers and give this elder a unique character.
After the flowering period, dark berries develop that can be used for various culinary applications, such as making elderberry wine. With a final height of 300 to 400 cm, the 'Black Lace' is an impressive appearance in the garden. However, it is easy to prune this deciduous ornamental shrub back to the desired height.
This variety feels at home in various locations and thrives with regular fertilization. Place it at the back of the border for a beautiful contrast, or let it shine as a solitary as a striking large shrub. Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' adds a stylish and functional touch to any garden.
