Features

notes

A lovely ornamental form of native Elderberry, Sambucus nigra Black Beauty is a wonderfully robust shrub, with very attractive, finely divided purple-black foliage. It bears superb, compound heads of tiny, light pink, lemon scented blooms in late spring.

Insights

With attractive foliage that adds movement when caught in a breeze, it is ideal for the back of a border where its dark tones complement brighter coloured plants, or in front of a light-coloured wall or fence. Ideally position in full sun to deepen the foliage colour.
