A little about this plant

Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' - Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace'

The Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' is an ornamental elder that bears very little resemblance to its hedgerow relative. Finely cut, almost black-purple leaves give the garden a dark, considered quality, and in early summer flat-headed pale pink flowers appear above them - the contrast is quietly spectacular. Cut the Black Lace hard in spring for the strongest leaf colour and most vigorous new growth. Fully hardy, fast-growing, tolerant of most soils, and genuinely good as a wildlife shrub - the berries are popular with birds if you leave some stems unpruned.

Plant may arrive in bud.
