Native currant found throughout western Turtle Island from alpine to subalpine mountain forests, montane chaparral, woodlands and the edges of meadows. Deciduous shrub that can grow in a spreading or upright habit. The leaves are rounded with toothed, shallow lobes that produce a waxy texture. Flowers grow in clusters with white to pink sepals surrounding small, white to pink petals that produce a ‘spicy’ aroma. They produce red berries that are edible but somewhat tasteless.
Full sun with well-draining soil. Tolerates many types of soil conditions, but prefers sandy or loamy soils.
4-6 ft tall
Size: #1 pot
