Rave reviews in Europe! This plant sensation of Europe is finally available here. Black Beauty is a real breakthrough. The foliage is black, and the color intensifies throughout the summer. In late June, this plant produces unique 10” clusters of star shaped, pink flowers with a sweet lemon fragrance which provid a startling contrast with the dark foliage. Produces good quality black berries when cross-pollinated with another black elderberry. Can reach 8-10 ft. tall, but you can cut it back each year as you would any ornamental perrenial. Very resilient and adaptable. This product may be covered by one or more of the following patents. U.S.P.P.#12305
