The Red Lake currant shrub is a hardy, deciduous plant known for its compact growth and vibrant clusters of bright red berries. Reaching 3 to 5 feet in height, it features lobed green leaves and produces small, fragrant flowers in early spring, followed by tart, juicy fruits in midsummer. Ideal for jams, jellies, and fresh eating, this cold-hardy shrub is also a favorite in ornamental and edible landscapes.
