Blooming in the early summer, clusters of delicate pink flowers give way to vibrant red berries in autumn. The deep charcoal leaves serve as the perfect backdrop for the eye-catching blooms and berries. Sambucus Black Lace is an ever-changing beauty that entices colorful songbirds, adding even more cheer to your garden.

Reaching 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide, this shrub is a great size for a variety of landscape uses. With 6-inch wide clusters of blooms that pop against the black foliage, this is the showstopper of any hedge, specimen, foundation, or border.

Growing in Zones 4 to 7, “The Japanese Maple of the North,” keeps its beauty through low temperatures, strong winds, and even partial shade. It’s easy to see why Black Lace has become a sensation in Western Europe, where it is the “it” shrub to grow.
