SAMBUCUS NIGRA `STRAIT-LACED` USPPAF An elderberry like no other!Beautiful elderberries like Black Lace® and Black Beauty™ have long been some of our most popular varieties - but as fairly large plants, not everyone has space for them. Enter Strait-Laced® elderberry, an amazing narrow, upright variety that takes up only a few square feet of ground. Feathery black foliage covers broomstick-straight stems that shoot toward the sky but stay in a narrow column. Early summer brings hundreds of pink flowers to contrast with the leaves. It's an exotic looking plant that's surprisingly hardy and easy to grow! Grow TipsStrait-Laced® elderberry is very easy to care for. It does not need regular pruning, but any dead wood should be removed in early spring. Any errant shoots can be pruned out to the ground as needed. Plant in full sun for best color and shape. This plant is not recommended for warm climates.
