Q.Why Does My Black Lace Elderberry Have Green Leaves?
I’m worried about my 2nd year Black Lace Elderberry bush. I have it in a corner within pines that gets about 3-4 hours hot afternoon sun. During this heatwave I have been watering it daily. My question is why are the leaves green instead of the dark purple? I live in the PNW, zone 6.

It must get too warm for your elderberry. The foliage stays dark in cool climates. In warmer months, the foliage is mainly green.
