TRUSTY, SPRING FLOWERING SHRUB IS GOOD NEWS FOR US AND WILDLIFE

Currant affairs

The flowering currant Ribes sanguineum comes to mind - every April you can depend on it to put on a brilliant display of pink blossoms, alongside the yellow flowers of forsythia.

It's an easy going deciduous shrub that's happy in most well drained soils from acidic to alkaline. You'll get the best flowers in full sunshine but it does tolerate some shade.

The pretty small rose-pink flowers hang in drooping clusters and provide welcome early sustenance for pollinators.
