Sambucus nigra ‘Black Tower® Eiffel’

A dramatic elder with wildlife value and ornamental flair

This upright, columnar variety of elder (Sambucus nigra) is a real showstopper with its deep purple-black foliage, soft pink-blushed elderflower clusters, and dark autumn berries that are irresistible to birds.

Unlike the common elder, ‘Black Tower® Eiffel’ has a neat, vertical habit, making it ideal for smaller gardens, wildlife-friendly borders, or even feature planting in more formal spaces.  The flowers are loved by pollinators, and the berries are a vital food source for blackbirds, thrushes, and warblers, Supplied in a 12 litre container.

Joel says:

“This one’s a head-turner, but don’t let the good looks fool you—it’s still packed with wildlife value. A great choice if you’re short on space but want something bold that feeds the birds and works hard for pollinators.”

THESE WILL NOW BE AVAILABLE TO ORDER FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY FOR DELIVERY IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 2025.  If you would like to be alerted in July then please either email us at enquiries@wildyourgarden.com or subscribe to our newsletter, thank you.
