| "Sambucus nigra Black Beauty 3L" |
| "With its dramatic black foliage and beautiful creamy-pink flowers, Sambucus Black Beauty is a real head turner!
An ornamental form of the common elder, it's a real favourite with leading garden designers because of its stunning decorative foliage and manageability, plus as a holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it's been judged to be perfect for UK gardens.
Flowering from May to June, Black Beauty produces stunning umbels of dainty pink, star-shaped blooms with a subtle, lemon fragrance. These fade from rich pink to pale pink, contrasting wonderfully with its luxurious, purple-black foliage.
In autumn the pollen-rich flowers are followed by purple-black, shiny, round berries that will attract plenty of wildlife into your garden.
Fully hardy, robust and a breeze to look after, it'll tolerate really harsh pruning too, springing back to life even when cut almost to the ground.
As an added bonus, and perfect if you're into growing your own, the berries will make vitamin-rich, home-made cordials and the flowers can be used to make Elderflower Champagne!
Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant straight out.
