Sambucus Nigra Black Lace

Hi, i have acquired a Sambucus Nigra Black Lace plant and wanted to know if it is safe to plant beneath a window without affecting the house.

although i love gardening, i am not particularly knowledgeable about plants and shrubs (hence why so many have died in my hands!) but this is such a lovely plant that i want to make sure i dont kill it off!

thanks for any help

 

We've had a Sambucus for about ten years, it lives in this tub. For quite a while on the patio, but we move it around sometimes, It's been here now for a couple of years, seems happy enough.
Anything in this "prime spot" has to perform, so it obliges.
It gets pruned quite heavily each year.
Can't see the roots being a problem.

 

thanks very much for your reply!
