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

Currant affairs

THERE are some plants that are so reliable we can take them for granted.

These are the unsung heroes in countless gardens up and down the country and it's worth taking a closer look at them to renew our appreciation.

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.

imageIt'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.
