Sierra currant thrives in partial shade with consistent moisture, making it ideal for woodland garden borders in western gardens. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogging, and mulch around the base to retain soil moisture. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage healthy new growth.
