Sambucus nigra ‘Black’

Elderberry

 

£5.50

Description

A real stunner of a plant, that can be grown as a tree or shrub.  Dramatic dark purple, almost black  dissected leaves, similar to that of an Japanese Acer, but perhaps without some of the hassle.  Great used as a specimen plant, or a backdrop to lighter green plants.  Beautiful creamy pink buds and flowers are produced from May to June.

Likes any garden soil in full sun or partial shade.

Good for pollinators.

Height 3m x 3m
