Black Lace Elderberry Live Shrub – Quart Pot – Sambucus nigra with Pink Flowers

Black Lace Elderberry (Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace') is a striking ornamental shrub valued for its finely cut purple-black foliage and contrasting clusters of soft pink flowers. This dramatic landscape plant provides season-long interest and serves as an eye-catching focal point in borders, mixed shrub plantings, and wildlife-friendly gardens.

The dark, lace-like foliage creates exceptional contrast against lighter landscape plants, while pink blooms add ornamental appeal during the flowering season. Later in the year, dark berries may develop when a compatible pollinator elderberry is present nearby.

Its adaptable nature and bold appearance make Black Lace Elderberry a popular choice for ornamental landscapes, foundation plantings, and naturalized garden settings.
