Description

Dramatic foliage meets versatile landscape design
  • Bold, dark burgundy-black foliage for striking contrast
  • Upright, columnar habit ideal for small spaces and tight borders
  • Soft pink flower clusters in early summer attract pollinators
  • Can produce dark berries in fall—great for birds and preserves
  • Perfect for privacy screens, focal points, or container growing
  • Tolerates pruning and adapts well to various soil types
  • Deer-resistant and easy to maintain

Add dramatic flair to your garden with Black Tower Elderberry, a striking shrub with deep, nearly black foliage and a narrow, upright form. In early summer, it blooms with soft pink flower clusters that contrast beautifully against the dark leaves and attract bees and butterflies.

As the season progresses, it may produce clusters of deep purple berries, which are loved by birds and can be harvested for jams and jellies (cooked only). Its vertical shape makes it an excellent choice for tight garden spaces, mixed borders, or even as a bold container specimen. Low maintenance, deer-resistant, and tolerant of pruning, Black Tower Elderberry offers beauty and versatility in one compact package.
