Foliage interest. Fall interest. Deer resistant. Native to America. A bright and stylish plant with an easy-going nature.
Ever wish our popular Black Lace elderberry came in a sunny bright yellow? We are happy to oblige: Lemony Lace offers finely dissected foliage but in a cheery gold color to really light up your landscape. This North American native produces big clusters of white flowers in early spring before the foliage emerges, then bright yellow leaves take over, edged in red. As the foliage ages, it turns an attractive chartreuse. Though it is a large plant, it can be pruned to stay smaller if you'd like. The bright red fruit is appealing but not considered edible. In theory you can eat it after boiling, but we think you'd need to be pretty hungry to try it. If you really want to up the ornamental appeal of your elderberry offerings, check out our new variegated variety, Instant Karma™. It wasn't selected for its fruit production but will produce berries, especially if planted near another S. nigra variety. Our Black Lace™ is a S. nigra and while it was selected for its ornamental appeal it does produce a good supply of fruit.
