Sambucus nigra (Elderberry)
×
Color Name: Laced Up®
An elderberry like no other! Laced Up is beautiful and has an amazing narrow, upright habit that takes up only a few square feet of ground. Feathery black foliage covers broomstick-straight stems that shoot toward the sky but stay in a narrow column. Early summer brings hundreds of pink flowers to contrast with the leaves. It's an exotic looking plant that's surprisingly hardy and easy to grow!
Growing Tips: Laced Up elderberry is very easy to care for. It does not need regular pruning, but any dead wood should be removed in early spring. Any errant shoots can be pruned out to the ground as needed. Plant in full sun for best color and shape. This plant is not recommended for warm climates. Pruning is rarely needed, due to its narrow habit. If desired, prune in early spring. To produce berries, you'll need a Black Lace, Instant Karma, or Black Beauty as a pollinator
