Sambucus nigra CHERRY LACE (PBR) is a deciduous shrub grown for its richly coloured, finely divided foliage and controlled, upright habit. New growth emerges in deep cherry-red tones, quickly developing into dark, almost black leaves with a delicate, cut-leaf texture that adds depth without heaviness. The plant forms a strong, vertical framework, giving structure through the season while maintaining a refined outline rather than a broad, spreading shape. Any seasonal flowers or berries are secondary to the foliage effect, which provides consistent contrast among lighter greens and softer planting. Well suited to borders where colour and form matter more than flower display, CHERRY LACE offers a bold yet disciplined presence that fits easily into modern and mixed garden schemes.
