1 Gallon Flowering Currant Live Shrub

1 Gallon Flowering Currant Live Shrub | Ribes sanguineum | Pink Spring Blooms | Hummingbird Plant | Native Deciduous Shrub

Welcome spring with the vibrant blooms of Ribes sanguineum, commonly known as Flowering Currant. This beautiful deciduous shrub produces cascading clusters of rosy pink to deep red flowers in early spring, providing one of the season's earliest nectar sources for hummingbirds, native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.

After flowering, attractive blue-black berries develop, providing food for songbirds and wildlife. Its aromatic, lobed green foliage and graceful branching habit make Flowering Currant an outstanding choice for wildlife gardens, cottage landscapes, woodland borders, native plantings, and flowering hedges.

Plant Care
Plant in well-drained soil with regular watering during the first growing season. Once established, Flowering Currant is drought tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods. Plant in full sun for the best flowering or partial shade in warmer climates. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape, as flower buds develop on older wood. Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
