Elderberry, Black Lace

Sambucus nigra 'Eva'

Shrubs Edibles

Description

This wonderful new cut-leaf elderberry sports near black foliage. Clusters of tiny pink flowers appear in early summer. Great substitute for a Japanese maple in full sun and colder areas. Slightly self-fertile, but for a more reliable crop partner it with 'Black Beauty' or 'Instant Karma'.
