Black Lace Sambucus is a delightful, lacy and tough new shrub from the plant masters at Proven Winners Color Choice Shrubs. This light and airy Elderberry is large in stature, growing to 6 feet by 6 feet, yet is versatile enough to be used in a variety of settings. The delicate cut leaf texture of this hardy shrub is very reminiscent of that of a Japanese maple, yet the black pearl color is much more distinctive. Sambucus ' Black Lace ' performs best in the full sun, but it will also thrive in a part sun exposure. In the spring you are treated to a show as large, baby pink blooms explode, later forming dark burgundy-red berries in the fall which can be harvested for making elderberry wine and jam, or left on the plant to attract birds and other wildlife.

Perhaps one of our favorite features of Black Lace Sambucus is its deer resistance, which at our farm in eastern Oregon is always a challenge! Black Lace Sambucus makes a wonderful addition to any garden. For a tough, hardy and deer resistant combo, pair Black Lace Sambucus with Sutherland Gold Elderberry. Sutherland Gold Sambucus exhibits the same lacy texture and hardiness as Black Lace Elderberry, but with foliage similar in color to matte gold, stunning!
