Sambucus
Black Lace

There has never been a plant with such appeal! Black Lace is reminiscent of a Japanese maple with its lacy purple-black foliage. Even better, it produces massive pink flowers that reach six inches in diameter. Its color and texture make it a great plant for the perennial garden, patio container or the entrance garden.

Perhaps the coolest new plant ever developed this new Sambucus looks more like a Japanese maple or a Cimicifuga but a whole lot easier grow.

Just imagine what you could do with that lacy, intense purple-black foliage! The unique texture and color provide season long interest.

It gets even better.  Massive clusters of pink flowers cover the plant in midsummer and emit a light lemon fragrance. What a contrast to the leaves!

Use it as a shrub, as a bold perennial or train it into a small tree. It's colorful, versatile and easy to grow.
