Ninebark is a small, multi-stemmed shrub, that is used to add texture or colour to any yard.
It features flaky, cinnamon-brown bark, attractive white flowers, and long, maple-like leaves.
The Northern Red Currant is also known as the Swamp Red currant due to its preference for moist soil. As long as the soil is wet, this shrub can live in any degree of sunlight.
The currant itself is a bright red-purple berry enjoyed by many animals and some people for its sour flavour, similar to garden red currants. The flowers of this shrub are tiny and red or greenish-purple.
