Red-flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum)

Red-flowering currant can be found growing throughout our region at low to mid-elevations, predominantly on exposed, well-drained sites, where it grows very well. It can also be found in shadier, damp sites. Currant can grow to 12 feet tall and spread approximately 10 feet wide. It is an important species for upland soil stabilization in restoration projects. Its rose-pink flowers in February brighten any late-winter garden.
