Sambucus nigra
‘Black Lace’ has very finely cut, almost black foliage, providing a perfect foil to the dark pink/purple -flushed blooms, followed by red-black elderberries. In autumn, its leaves turn a rich purple - red. To produce the best coloured leaves, prune plants back to ground level every year in early spring (bear in mind this may be at the expense of flowers and fruit). It works well when planted on its own or as part of a hedge.
Ht 6m x Sp 6m- (can also be hard pruned to keep to required size in a border)
