Black Laced Up Sambucus is a compact variety of elderberry with dark purple-black foliage and a more upright, narrow habit than other sambucus varieties. This cultivar is a great option for smaller spaces or urban gardens due to its tighter, columnar growth—it typically grows to 4–6 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide. The plant produces clusters of small, pale pinkish-white flowers in late spring to early summer, which are highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies. After flowering, it may produce small, dark berries, although they are often less prolific than other sambucus types. The Black Laced Up Sambucus provides a bold color contrast with its lacy, finely textured foliage and is ideal for both garden beds and containers.
