Add a touch of dramatic elegance to your garden with Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Cherry Lace'. This stunning deciduous shrub features deeply divided, dark burgundy foliage that almost seems to shimmer with hints of cherry-red, creating a rich, textured contrast. In early to mid-summer, clusters of creamy pink flowers will fill the air with a light, sweet fragrance while attracting bees and butterflies. As the season progresses, in late summer these blossoms give way to small, glossy, black elderberries, perfect for wildlife or homemade syrups and jams. Compact and easy to maintain reaching only 1.5m in height and spread, 'Cherry Lace' thrives in a fully sunny or partial shaded position facing any aspect, making it a versatile choice for borders, containers, or mixed plantings. Highly resistant to pests and drought-tolerant once established, this eye-catching shrub combines beauty with resilience. Whether you're designing a cottage garden or a modern outdoor retreat, Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Cherry Lace' promises a fantastic show with minimal effort.
