Elderberry, Black Lace

Add rich color and fine texture to your garden with Black Lace. Dark purple leaves on this large, vigorous plant are lacy and fine-textured, contrasting beautifully with typical green garden shrubs. Also makes a great framework plant in perennial gardens. Pale pink, flat-topped, 5-8" diameter flower clusters in June and July are followed by purple-black, edible berries. The flowers and fruit will attract pollinators and birds. Occasional hard pruning will help keep the plant looking its best.
