Black Lace Elder

Sambucus nigra 'Eva'

$48.00$109.00 + GST

A fast growing, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright, spreading habit of growth. Features finely cut, dark purple foliage throughout the season that keeps its colour through fall. Produces attractive clusters of tiny, creamy white-pink, blooms in late spring to early summer, turning to small ornamental deep purple berries in fall. A nice substitute for a Japanese maple which is not hardy in our climate. Proven Winners plant.
