Flowering Currant is great as a single species flowering hedge but also as a component in a mixed hedge. It is deciduous and its flowers appear before the leaves. The flowers are formed in showy crimson pendulous highly scented clusters often smothering the plant and are an excellent early nectar for bees. They are followed in Autumn by blue/black currant like fruits with a white bloom which are suitable for us to eat. Its tooth serated leaves have a strong scent when crushed. You can view our whole collection of hedge plants with edible features here.

Flowering Currant with grow in most soils other than very alkaline, it must however have some moisture, and will perform well in full or partial sun or even light shade. It is suitable for coastal situations. View all of our flowering varieties and plants for plants for exposed sites.

There is a view that Flowering Currant should be pruned in late summer but we find it performs better as a hedge if you cut back flowering stems to a strong pair of buds immediately after flowering. Suited to heights under 1m, this species is ideal for creating structure within a garden as this plant is utilised as a low border surrounding paths, structures and larger hedges - see even more low growing hedge plants.

Prices shown are the price per plant. Planting distance is very much a matter of choice. For bare roots, 3 plants per metre is adequate, 5 is good, 7 makes a dense hedge quicker. Smaller plants are generally planted at higher density than tall plants. Pot grown plants have recommended densities shown but you can increase or reduce this density dependent on your level of patience. See also our Advice section on Planting Density on the right hand side of our website.

Pot grown plants are available all year round. Bare roots are only available from November to late April/early May.
