Sambucus 'Black Lace' (Pot Size: 3 Litre Pot)
Sambucus ‘Black Lace’, also known as Black Elder, is a standout plant in our nursery collection, cherished for its dramatic appearance and versatility. This striking shrub, awarded the RHS Garden Merit, is celebrated for its deeply cut, dark purple-black foliage that provides a bold contrast to other garden plants. The intricate, lace-like leaves are complemented by clusters of delicate, pale pink flowers that bloom in Summer, adding a soft touch of colour to its otherwise intense presence.
We love ‘Black Lace’ for its unique blend of elegance and impact. It shines as a focal point in garden beds, where its dramatic foliage can create a stunning backdrop for other plants. The shrub also works beautifully in mixed borders, providing both structure and contrast. Its dark leaves create an eye-catching contrast with lighter plants and bright blooms, enhancing the overall garden design.
Beyond its visual appeal, ‘Black Lace’ attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding an extra layer of interest and support for wildlife. Its resilience and striking appearance make it a versatile choice for various garden styles, from contemporary to naturalistic designs.
