Sambucus Black Lace plantdrop2 well-drained soilSambucus nigra 'Black Lace' Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' The Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' is an ornamental elder that bears very little resemblance to its hedgerow relative. Finely cut, almost black purple leaves give the garden a dark, considered quality, and in early summer flat headed pale pink flowers appear above them the contrast is quietly spectacular. Cut the Black Lace hard in spring for the strongest leaf colour and most vigorous new growth.
