Plant description
A deciduous, spring-flowering, ornamental shrub with pendent clusters of deep crimson, tubular flowers, followed by spherical, blue-black fruit. This popular form of flowering currant is compact and upright in habit, making it ideal for where border space is limited or for growing as an informal, flowering hedge. To prevent the plant from becoming congested in late summer remove any dead or diseased branches and reduce the flowered shoots to a strong, lower bud. Ribes sanguineum originates from dry open woods and rocky slopes in western North America as far south as California. It was introduced into Britain in 1817.
