Sambucus nigra 'Cherry Lace' is a delightful, compact elderberry variety that stands out in any garden with its strikingly intricate, dark burgundy-purple leaves. The foliage is finely dissected, creating a lacy texture that adds depth and visual interest to your landscape. As spring unfolds, the leaves often emerge with a hint of red, gradually transitioning to a deeper hue as the season progresses. This dynamic color change not only enhances the plant's aesthetic appeal but also provides a rich backdrop for the vibrant floral display that follows.
In early summer, 'Cherry Lace' showcases stunning clusters of pale to bright pink flowers that bloom in flat-topped formations. These lightly scented blossoms are not only a feast for the eyes but also serve as a magnet for pollinators, making this plant a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden. If the flowers are successfully pollinated and not deadheaded, they may give way to small, dark berries by late summer, adding another layer of interest to the plant. This seasonal transformation ensures that 'Cherry Lace' remains a focal point throughout the growing season.
This elderberry thrives best in full sun, where it can achieve its most vibrant leaf color, although it can tolerate light shade as well. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and is adaptable to various soil types, including clay and loam, making it a versatile choice for different garden settings. Its compact size makes it perfect for borders, mixed plantings, or even patio containers, and it can be pruned back in spring to maintain its shape or encourage fresh growth. Hardy across the UK, 'Cherry Lace' requires little to no winter protection, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience in their outdoor spaces. Height: 150 cm (59 in) Spread: 150 cm (59 in)
