Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The elegant foliage on this improved elderberry is medium-green edged in creamy white. Huge, lacy white flower clusters appear in early summer, and if a suitable pollinator is present, a large crop of purple-black fruit will appear in autumn. 'Black Lace' and 'Black Beauty' are good partners and they happen to look stunning interplanted with this cultivar. This gorgeous shrub grows 8-12' and is perfect for specimen or screen. S-PSh/M
