Russian Almond vs Alpine CurrantPrunus tenella Ribes alpinum SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Russian Almond is a low maintenance, short, slightly suckering shrub. It is covered with attractive, bright pink flowers in early spring before its foliage emerges.
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. RUSSIAN ALMOND QUICK FACTSALPINE CURRANT QUICK FACTS
