If Dr. Seuss were a plant breeder, this is what he'd create! You've never seen an elderberry like Laced Up® before: it combines a striking fastigiate habit with lacy, near-black foliage. The effect is something like a flock of birds taking flight. Pink flowers in early summer turn to black fruit if a pollinator (like Black Lace ® , Black Beauty ® , or Instant Karma ® elderberry) is planted nearby.
