Pink-flowering Currant
Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum
Meet the elegant Pink Flowering Currant - a stunning California native shrub that brings spring magic to your garden! This beautiful deciduous shrub produces cascading clusters of delicate rose-pink flowers that hang like jewels in early spring, creating a breathtaking display when gardens are just waking up. Hummingbirds go absolutely crazy for these early nectar sources, providing front-row seats to spectacular spring hummingbird shows.
The attractive lobed leaves emerge as flowers fade, providing beautiful structure and green texture through the growing season. The foliage turns gorgeous shades of yellow and orange in fall before dropping. This vigorous native typically reaches 6-10 feet tall with a naturally graceful, arching form. The blue-black berries that follow the flowers are enjoyed by birds and can also be used for jams and jellies.
Pink Flowering Currant is particularly heat tolerant, thriving in warm inland gardens as well as coastal areas. Drought tolerant once established, it handles sun or partial shade beautifully. Low maintenance and deer resistant, this native delivers spectacular spring color with minimal care!
