Eden & DaneCurrant
A compact, self-fertile shrub producing loose clusters of translucent, tart berries, available in red, white, or black varieties.
Currants are one of the most reliably productive shrubs for a partially shaded spot, an area many fruiting plants struggle in. They appreciate afternoon shade in hot climates and consistent moisture, and will fruit well even in the dappled light under larger trees. The clusters of berries hang like small strings of jewels and ripen over a short, concentrated window in early to midsummer.
All three color varieties, red, white, and black, are self-fertile and do not require a second plant, though planting more than one extends the harvest window slightly. Currants are naturally compact, rarely exceeding 5 feet, which makes them a good fit for smaller properties or as a productive foundation planting along a shaded wall.
Planting & Growing Information
Good company
for your currant.
Fruit where
other plants won't.
Most fruiting shrubs demand full sun. Currant is the exception. It genuinely appreciates afternoon shade in hot climates and will fruit reliably even in the dappled light under larger trees - a spot that leaves most other fruiting plants struggling or unproductive.
The clusters of translucent berries hang like small strings of jewels and ripen over a short, concentrated window in early to midsummer, giving you one satisfying harvest rather than a long drawn-out trickle. Available in red, white, or black - each with a slightly different flavor profile, all self-fertile.
What to know before you buy
All three color varieties are self-fertile and do not require a second plant, though growing more than one color extends your harvest window and gives you a broader flavor range for jams, syrups, or fresh eating.
Currant stays naturally compact, rarely exceeding five feet, which makes it a good fit for smaller properties or as a productive foundation planting along a shaded wall or fence.
Consistent moisture matters more for currant than for most of our other fruiting shrubs. Mulch to retain soil moisture, and avoid letting the root zone dry out completely during the growing season.
Planting a hedgerow,
not a single bush.
