Golden currant
Ribes aureum
Golden currant is a hardy, adaptable shrub that thrives in partial shade with average moisture. Water regularly during its first season to establish deep roots, then reduce frequency as it becomes more self-sufficient. It rewards low-maintenance gardeners with fragrant yellow spring flowers and wildlife-attracting berries.
