Description

Black Lace Elder Tree (Sambucus nigra) 3 Litre Pot from Farplants

Common elder, Sambucus nigra, bears sprays of tiny white flowers in early summer followed by small black fruit which can be cooked and eaten, or used to make a refreshing summer drink.
Sambucus nigra “Black Lace” has very finely cut, almost black foliage, which is the perfect foil to the pink-flushed blooms, which are followed by red-black elderberries.

In autumn, its leaves turn a rich 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.Sambucus ‘Black lace’ is known for attracting bees, birds and other pollinators.
It has nectar/pollen rich flowers, provides shelter and habitat and has seeds for birds.
