Alpine currant
Ribes alpinum
Alpine currant is a tough, adaptable deciduous shrub that performs well in partial shade, making it ideal for difficult spots under trees or along north-facing fences. It is highly tolerant of urban conditions, cold climates, and poor soils, needing only occasional watering once established. Minimal pruning after fruiting will keep its compact, tidy shape.
