Garden currant
Ribes rubrum
Garden currant thrives in cool climates with partial shade and consistent moisture, making it an excellent choice for temperate gardens. Plant in well-draining, fertile soil and mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune out old wood after fruiting each year to encourage vigorous new growth.
