Red-flowering Currant
Ribes sanguineum
Native west of the Cascades from southwest British Columbia to southern California. Grows in open forests and rocky slopes. Deciduous shrub with 3-5 lobed leaves that have a crinkled look due to their deep veination, and turn yellow to red in autumn.
In early spring, clusters of light to bright pink flowers appear, providing an early nectar source for bees and humming birds. The blossoms are followed by blue-black edible but not very palatable berries that are loved by birds.
Full sun to part-shade and well-draining soil. Drought resistant once it is established (supported by extra watering in the first two years).
3-9 ft tall, 3-9 ft wide
Size: #1 pots
