Grow delicious soft fruit at home with our Currant Fruit Plants (Ribes). Hardy, productive and easy to grow, currant bushes are a fantastic addition to fruit gardens, allotments and larger patio containers, producing generous crops of berries for eating fresh, baking, desserts, jams and homemade preserves.
Choose from Ribes 'Werdavia', Ribes 'Blanka', Ribes 'Witte Parel' or Mixed. These varieties produce attractive pale to white currants with a refreshing flavour and look fantastic when the clusters of fruit begin to ripen.
Ribes plants grow best in a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep them regularly watered while establishing and during dry spells as the fruit develops.
Hardy and rewarding, Currant Fruit Plants are a great choice for enjoying fresh, homegrown berries year after year.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in fertile loam, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
