Black Lace® Elderberry: Bold Color, Elegant Texture
Black Lace® Elderberry combines dramatic color with elegant texture. Its purple-black foliage creates an effect similar to a Japanese maple, making it a striking focal point without the fuss of more delicate trees. Creamy pink flower clusters bloom in late spring to early summer, standing out beautifully against the dark foliage.
When planted near a compatible pollinator, the blooms are followed by blackish-red berries in fall that can be harvested for homemade jams or elderberry wine, or left on the plant to attract birds and other wildlife. Adaptable and easy to grow, Black Lace® adds bold beauty to borders, hedges, and foundation plantings.
