| Elderberry | Sambucus nigra | |  | Intense purple black foliage is finely cut, giving it an effect similar to that of Japanese maple. Indeed, some designers are using it in place of the more sensitive acer varieties since BLACK LACE is extremely durable and adaptable. | SD-3 |  |  |  |  |  |

| | Sambucus racemosa | |  | Check out this showy new cutleaf elderberry with bright golden foliage. It's a colorful, shaggy mound of gold threads with colorful reddish new growth. The foliage is more deeply cut than ‘Sutherland Gold’ or Black Lace™ resulting in a compact irregular mound with extremely fine texture. White spring flowers produce red fruit in fall. Will tolerate full sun in northern climates, but prefers light shade in more southern areas. | SD-3 |  |  |  |  |  |
