Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla black tower (‘Eiffel 1’) (PBR) | Black Tower Elder | 12L Pot (0.8-1m) | By Frank P Matthews

An upright columnar shrub or small tree ideal for smaller borders or as a stand-alone specimen. The toothed foliage opens green but soon turns dark purple in a sunny position. Flat heads of musky-scented, pale pink flowers with large red anthers appear in late spring, followed by purple-black berries for wine making.
