Black Lace® Elderberry

Black Lace® Elderberry Sambucus nigra Black Lace® ('Eva') The first thing you'll notice is the foliage that will stun you with its beauty. 'Black Lace™' has wispy, threadlike foliage that is made even more intriguing by its dark purple, nearly black coloration. This color and texture combine with a compact, yet open and airy plant form to give the look of a threadleaf Japanese Maple on a plant that is so much easier to get established and grow. If 'Black Lace™' had just its foliage and form it would be a remarkable plant, but when you add in this plant's massive 10" diameter, lightly fragrant, pink, flattened lacy flower heads that open up in early June, and you have a plant that has few equals in its beauty. 'Black Lace™' thrives in full sun or part shade and has such versatility. Available sizes: 3 Gallon Container • Deciduous • 5 Year Size: 6' tall & wide • Hardiness Zone: 4-7 • Sun Exposure: Full Sun to Part Sun/Part Shade • Attracts Birds • Deer Resistant • Fragrant
