Cross Pollination Of Elderberry

I have a black lace elderberry that I just purchased. I recently came to know that you need two to form berries. Can I use a lemon lace elderberry for cross pollination or does it have to the same black lace?

Sambucus nigra is semi self-fertile. They produce better with another nearby, though.
