Description

The black elder Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' has delicate, deep purple—almost black—foliage and flat, white flowerheads in early summer (June). Fully hardy and best in full sun (tolerant of part shade), it produces dark autumn fruits that attract birds and supports pollinators. It grows to around 3 m tall and wide and responds well to pruning to control size. Prefers moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil, can be planted year-round, and is supplied as a potted plant selected by our nursery.

Product Care InstructionsUnpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water. When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden. Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth. Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. Feeding and aftercare: Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed
