💡 Care Tip: Plant your Black Currant in well-draining soil and provide full sun to partial shade. Water regularly while the plant establishes its roots. Depending on the season, the plant may arrive dormant or with leaves, and it may naturally lose its foliage during certain seasonal periods before producing new growth. Give the plant time to acclimate after planting, and avoid overwatering. With proper care, your rooted starter can develop into a productive fruiting shrub.
