This shrub has a slightly rounded shape with dense shoots. The leaves are dark green, with light green, white-haired undersides and serrated edges. They produce an aromatic, pleasant fragrance. The currant has dark red flowers with a white center, hanging in clusters 7-8 cm long. Flowers appear together with the leaves in May.
The fruits are dark blue, not very tasty, but not poisonous either – they are an ideal food for birds. Therefore, having this shrub in the garden, we can expect plenty of visitors.
In our climate, however, this currant rarely sets fruit. It is a very easy-to-grow variety. It thrives in moderately rich, slightly acidic, and moderately moist soils. It prefers sunny or partially shaded spots.
