BLACK LACE is a stunning development in Elderberry breeding. Intense purple black foliage is finely cut, giving it an effect similar to that of Japanese maple. Black Lace Sambucus can be used in place of the more sensitive Japanese Maple varieties since BLACK LACE is extremely durable and adaptable. Creamy pink flowers in spring contrast nicely with the dark leaves. They are followed by blackish red fall berries which can be harvested for making elderberry wine and jam, or left on the plant to attract birds and other wildlife. BLACK LACE is very cold hardy and easy to grow, and adaptable to most sites. We have found Black Lace Sambucus to be very deer resistant a bonus if you live in an area with high deer populations. Full sun is needed to produce the best foliage color. Black Lace can be used as a dramatic accent plant, planted en masse for a trouble free high hedge, or incorporated into the mixed or perennial border. Left alone it will reach up to 8 feet in height, but BLACK LACE can also be pruned back each year to fit into more formal settings. TIP: Prune Black Lace Sambucus back twice during the first year that you plant it to develop attractive branching. Best in moist soil although will tolerate dry soils. Thrives under acid or alkaline soils. Best if pruned immediately after blooming. Plants set flower buds the summer prior to blooming. A deciduous shrub, black lace will tolerate even heavy snow fall in northern areas. Fertilize in early spring by applying an all purpose organic fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. This shrub is shipped in a standard nursery trade 2 gallon container.
