Description
Black Lace Up® Sambucus (Sambucus nigra ‘SNR1292’) is a unique, columnar elderberry shrub featuring deeply cut, lacy, near-black foliage that adds an elegant and dramatic vertical accent to gardens and landscapes. Unlike traditional elderberries, this variety has an upright, narrow growth habit, making it perfect for small spaces, hedging, or as a striking focal point.
In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of soft pink flowers that beautifully contrast with its dark leaves and attract pollinators. By fall, it may develop dark purple berries, which can be used for jams and wines or left for wildlife. Black Lace Up® Sambucus thrives in full sun to partial shade, is cold-hardy, and requires minimal maintenance, making it a standout choice for modern landscapes.
