Ribes sanguineum Pulborough Scarlet

Flowering Currant

Ribes sanguineum 'Pulborough Scarlet', commonly known as Flowering Currant 'Pulborough Scarlet', is a deciduous shrub highly valued for its striking red flowers in early spring. It is a favorite for adding vibrant color to gardens when few other plants are in bloom, and it is easy to grow and maintain.  This plant is well-suited to a variety of garden conditions, including urban gardens, and is relatively low-maintenance, making it ideal for gardeners of all experience levels.

Here’s a detailed overview:

  • Leaves: The leaves are medium to dark green, lobed, and have a slightly rough texture. They are aromatic when crushed, giving off a pleasant, resinous scent. In autumn, the leaves may turn a pale yellow before falling.
  • Growth Habit: This shrub has an upright, bushy growth habit and forms a rounded shape. It grows densely, making it a good choice for borders or hedging.
  • Bloom Time: Ribes sanguineum 'Pulborough Scarlet' blooms in early to mid-spring (March to April), often one of the first shrubs to flower.
  • Flower Appearance: The plant produces long, pendulous racemes (flower clusters) of bright, deep red or scarlet flowers, which are tubular and fragrant. These flowers are highly attractive to pollinators like bees and early insects.
  • Flower Size: The individual flowers are small, but the dense, drooping clusters create a striking effect, especially when in full bloom.
  • Appearance: After flowering, Ribes sanguineum 'Pulborough Scarlet' produces small, round, dark purple to black berries. The berries are not typically eaten by humans but are a food source for birds.
  • Height and Spread: This shrub typically grows to about 1.8 to 2.4 meters (6 to 8 feet) in height with a similar spread, making it a medium-sized shrub suitable for most garden settings.

'Pulborough Scarlet' thrives in well-drained soil but can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including chalky, loamy, or sandy soils. This plant performs best in full sun, which encourages more prolific flowering. However, it can also tolerate partial shade, although flowering may be less abundant in shadier locations.
