Black Lace Elderberry Live Shrub - Quart Pot - Sambucus nigra with Pink Flowers

Black Lace Elderberry (Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace') is an ornamental shrub known for its finely cut purple-black foliage and clusters of soft pink flowers. This shrub adds season-long interest and serves as a focal point in borders, mixed shrub plantings, and wildlife-friendly gardens.

The dark, lace-like foliage contrasts well with lighter plants, while the pink blooms provide ornamental appeal during flowering. Dark berries may develop later in the year if a compatible pollinator elderberry is nearby.

Black Lace Elderberry is adaptable and bold, suitable for ornamental landscapes, foundation plantings, and naturalized garden settings.
