Red Currant vs Meadowsweet
Ribes rubrum
Filipendula ulmaria
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Red Currant is a deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves, and bright red berries that can be used in jams, sauces, and fresh eating.
Although this shrub is self-fertile, it will be more productive if another pollinator is present. For year over year high yields, ensure you fertilize (bone meal), prune, and mulch your Red Currant shrub.
Meadowsweet gets its name from its sweet fragrance from the creamy white flowers. It is a large upright herbaceous perennial shrub. They bloom in early summer, and with the right conditions may remain throughout the season.
Take care of where you’re planting Meadowsweet as it is known to spread.
