BLACK LACE® ELDERBERRY

Sambucus nigra 'Eva' Proven Winners® Color Choice® Black Lace® is commonly referred to as Black Lace® Purple Cut-Leaf Elderberry. This Proven Winners® Color Choice® selection features creamy pink flowers in spring that contrast well with its finely cut, lacy dark purple foliage providing an exotic look reminiscent of Japanese Maples. The small purple berries are edible and delicious, providing a tart flavor that can be harvested for making elderberry wine, pancakes and jam.

Black Lace® thrives in full sun in rich, fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soil. It can tolerate small periods of standing water, but drainage is best. Light pruning in winters adds to its vigor the following spring.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. For optimal foliage color, select a location with full sun to partial shade, as increased light exposure is essential for maintaining structural integrity in ornamental cultivars. Prune in late winter or early spring before bud break, using hard cuts to stimulate dense, vigorous growth or selective thinning to improve airflow and fruit production. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, ensuring it stays away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
