BLACK TOWER ELDERBERRY 2gal

This show-stopping deciduous shrub stands out with its incredibly dark, almost black, finely cut foliage, creating a striking vertical accent in any landscape. Imagine those deep, mysterious leaves forming a dense column, providing a bold contrast to greener plants in your yard.

‘Black Tower’ Elderberry is a unique architectural plant, growing to a commanding height of 6 feet tall while maintaining a remarkably narrow, upright habit of 3 feet wide. This makes it an ideal choice for adding vertical interest to smaller spaces, creating an edgy privacy screen, or acting as a striking specimen plant. In early summer, it produces clusters of delicate, lacy pink flowers that beautifully complement its dark foliage, providing a soft touch to its bold appearance. These flowers mature into attractive, black berries in late summer, which are highly attractive to birds and can even be used for culinary purposes if desired. This adaptable shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and is remarkably deer resistant and very tolerant of various soil conditions once established.

To ensure your Black Tower Elderberry establishes well and truly thrives, we strongly recommend preparing its planting area with Watters Premium Mulch. Mix this rich, organic material into the soil when planting and then apply a generous layer around the base. This will help conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil as it decomposes, providing a healthy environment for root development. For vigorous growth and the most intense foliage color, feed your elderberry with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food during planting and throughout the growing season. This balanced feeding will support its majestic vertical growth and keep its unique dark leaves looking their absolute best.
