Description
Sambucus Cherry Lace is a unique elderberry with deeply incised, dark cherry-red foliage. Its flowers have a white centre with striking pink edges, and will turn Cherry Lace into a spectacle of beauty when summer comes. The elegant foliage, the colourful flowers and the beautiful black berries add life to the landscape for an extra-long period. A big bonus are the black berries which are perfect for jams, juices and sirups.

Young foliage starts green and red which will turn into dark hues of cherry red during the season. The intense pink flowers create an impressive contrast with the dark cherry foliage. Its compact size and little maintenance requirements make Cherry Lace perfectly suited for smaller gardens and mass plantings.
