GOLDEN CURRANT 3/5gal

Golden Currant (Ribes aureum) is a true gift to the high-desert gardener, offering a sensory feast from early spring through autumn. You will love this deciduous shrub for its clove-scented yellow blooms that signal the start of spring, followed by edible berries that attract songbirds to your sanctuary. Reaching a graceful 5 to 6 feet tall and wide, it fits perfectly as a focal point or a functional hedge in Zones 7 and 8.

This hardy native is exceptionally versatile, flourishing in full sun to partial shade. Perhaps its greatest virtue for our region is its deer-resistant quality; it is tough enough to handle local wildlife while remaining water-efficient once established. When planting, I recommend blending Watters Premium Mulch with your native soil to improve moisture retention. A steady diet of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food ensures a heavy crop of berries and lush foliage.
