Description
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 Laced Up® 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, with the bloom lasting until fall.
Laced Up® is an exotic looking plant that’s surprisingly winter hardy and easy to grow! It’s upright form makes it easy to find space for this eye-popping beauty.
Note: This plant was formerly known as Strait Laced® elderberry.
