Sambucus 'Black lace'

Sambucus ‘Black lace’

£29.00

Sambucus ‘Black Lace’ is a stunning deciduous shrub with finely cut, dark purple-black foliage that resembles the look of Japanese maple leaves. In early summer, it produces large clusters of fragrant, pale pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark leaves and are followed by glossy black berries in autumn, loved by wildlife. Striking as a specimen plant or as part of a mixed border, ‘Black Lace’ adds bold texture, colour, and seasonal interest. It’s easy to grow, adaptable, and responds well to hard pruning, which enhances the foliage display.
