Sambucus Nigra Black Lace also known as the Common Elder or Black Elder is an ornamental version of the UK native elder perennial..

Deciduous Sambucus Nigra Black Lace (due to its very fine, dark almost black, foliage) is a hardy perennial that will grow in either sun or shade. It produces very pretty and delicate dark or light pink flowers in summer from July/August and these are followed by dark purple berries.

Prune Sambucus Nigra hard in early spring to achieve attractive-shaped, bushy plants and prolific flowering in summer. The berries that appear after flowering are loved by birds and this is an important source of food for berry eaters. 
Growing Tip: Interesting foliage for colour specific planting - easily grown in sun or shade.
Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit - a sure sign it will perform well in UK gardens.
