Red Currant is a short deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves and bright red berries.
Alpine Currant is a great shrub to plant along sidewalks, near building or at your property boundary as a hedge or accent species. It is widely used by commercial landscapers in parking lots and near buildings because of its hardiness, attractiveness, and pollution tolerance. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSALPINE CURRANT QUICK FACTS
