Plant of the Day

The Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Eva' (elder, 'Black Lace') is a deciduous shrub with very deeply dissected purplish-black foliage which is enhanced by the flat, pink-flushed flower heads. The flowers can be followed by purple-black berries the autumn. Pruning plants in winter can produce the strongest coloured foliage on new growth.
