ℹ Intense purple black foliage is finely cut like lace, giving it an effect similar to that of Japanese maple. Indeed, some designers are using it in place of more sensitive plants since Black Lace is extremely durable and adaptable. Pink fragrant flowers in early summer contrast with the dark leaves for a stunning effect and give way to black edible berries if a compatible pollinator is planted nearby.
