Alpine currant

Overview

Alpine currant (Ribes alpinum 'Green Mound') is a hardy, deciduous shrub that is perfect for adding year-round interest to gardens. This plant is notable for its rich, green foliage, which produces a mound-like shape when it reaches maturity. In the spring and summer, spikes of yellow flowers develop, followed by small clusters of black berries. Use this versatile shrub in mass planting, adding structure to your garden or in hedges. Not finicky about soil conditions, Alpine currant thrives even in full shade and cold climates. It's easy to manage and maintains its shape perfectly with minimal maintenance.
