Black Tower Elderberry

Black Tower Elderberry (Sambucus nigra 'EIFFEL 1') stands as a majestic focal point in any garden, boasting a unique columnar form that reaches heights of up to ten feet. This cultivar of the native elderberry mesmerizes with its finely textured, deep purple-black foliage, creating a sophisticated backdrop for your landscape. Delicate pink flowers emerge in late spring, gracefully contrasting with the dark foliage, and later transform into clusters of dark purple berries, adding both visual allure and culinary interest. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Black Tower Elderberry is a resilient and low-maintenance choice, adapting well to various soil types and thriving in full sun to part shade. Its compact and narrow silhouette makes it ideal for smaller spaces or as an eye-catching specimen in mixed borders. With the added benefit of attracting birds and beneficial insects, the Black Tower Elderberry harmoniously combines beauty and ecological value, making it a standout choice for discerning gardeners.
