Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' - Black Elder

Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' - Black Elder

Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace': like elderflower got a goth makeover. With its deeply cut, dark purple-black foliage and soft pink flower clusters, this dramatic shrub brings both edge and elegance. Bonus: the flowers and berries are edible!

Plant Care

Position: full sun to part shade – deeper colour in full sun, but more tolerant in light shade

Hardiness: fully hardy in the UK (down to -20°C)

Hot Tips: prune in late winter or early spring to keep it compact and encourage bold new growth. Flowers can be used for cordial; berries (when fully ripe and cooked!) for jams and syrups. Great for wildlife gardens and mixed borders.
