I have mine planted on the shady side of a red bud tree.  I has suckered
about 3 feet around it. I love the little grove it has made though. I did move one to the back yard under a yew shrub that is over 30 years old and 
limbed up.  It is keeping its very dark purple color.
It bloomed some this year but no where as much as my variegated sambucus. 
It is in a lot more sun from the west.  Beautiful!

My Gerda is still pretty dark, no suckers yet.

Tricia.... or anyone...
Just how much suckering is yours doing? Is it staying right next to the 
plant or all over? How long have you had it? Is it keeping it's dark
leaves or do you find the species showing up in it?
I had thought about buying this last year. Read somewhere that if not in 
the right conditions it would be more dark green rather than the
black/purple... also that it might end up running thru a large area.

That's exactly how they market S.n. Black Lace, "...reminiscent of a
Japanese Maple with its lacy purple-black foliage." - This from the
wholesaler's catalog when they debuted S.n.'Eva' a couple of years ago. 
It's on the cover of their catalog.

I have this plant, Sambucus nigra "Eva" It is so beautiful. It has
started
to come up all around it .. little babies but I don't mind, I would
love
to
try moving some to other places in the yard. I did try root pruning it 
this
year to see if I can move some successfully.
In western Oklahoma I think of it as my Japanese Maple that I can't
grow.
I
have mine in a lot of shade and maybe it would flower better if it had 
more
sun... but it would need more water then.

We went nursery hopping this morning. We wanted to get some vegetable plants--peppers, eggplants, a cherry tomato--and see if there were any field-grown pansies left [nope]. We also wanted to kinda look around 
for
ideas. Three junipers have died in one of the street-side beds and
we're
having a line of five incense cedars along the back fence limbed up on 
Monday, so we've got some interesting areas to think about. So,
mostly,
we were just window shopping.
We saw a black elderberry [Sambucus nigra "Eva," which is definitely 
on
our list to consider planting somewhere].

On the way home, we took a detour and went by Schreiner's iris
nursery.
It's mind blowing. They have a few acres of demonstration gardens
where
one can wander, picnic, photograph, whatever. Mainly, of course, it's 
a
show case for their irises, but the beds are chock-a- block
flowers--irises, lupines, columbines, poppies, herbaceous peonies,
delphiniums, alliums... masses of spectacular color every where you
looked. And, of course, I hadn't brought my camera.
