Black Lace® Elderberry (Sambucus nigra 'Eva') - 3 gallon 18"

If you are looking to add a touch of sophisticated drama to your landscape, the Black Lace Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a stellar choice. This stunning shrub features intense, purple-black foliage that is deeply cut, mimicking the delicate look of a Japanese Maple but with the ruggedness of an elderberry. Reaching a mature size of 6–8 feet tall and wide, it serves as a magnificent focal point or a dense, colorful privacy screen.

Perfect for Zones 7 and 8, this plant thrives in full sun, which helps maintain its darkest leaf color, though it appreciates some afternoon shade in hotter climates. For those battling local wildlife, you will be pleased to know it is notably deer-resistant. To ensure a successful start, always plant using Watters Premium Mulch blended 50/50 with your garden's native soil to improve drainage. Feed it with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to keep that dark foliage vibrant.
