DESCRIPTION
Sambucus nigra 'Eva', commonly known as Black Lace elderberry, is an ornamental shrub known for its finely cut, deep purple-black foliage and delicate pink flowers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it produces large, flat clusters of small, pale pink blossoms that contrast beautifully with the dark, almost black leaves. As the season progresses, small dark berries form, adding additional interest and attracting birds.
This cultivar was developed in Europe as a more compact and refined variety of the native Sambucus nigra, chosen for its unique leaf color and ornamental flowers. 'Eva' has become a popular choice for gardens, where it provides a dramatic contrast in flowerbeds, borders, or mixed plantings, combining both beauty and functional value in a variety of landscapes.
