Hi Donna,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the Red Lake Currant bush! We’re delighted to hear how its rounded shape adds a lovely, soft touch to your garden’s mix of perennials. That contrast with the sharper leaves and spiked stems sounds like a beautiful design choice.

If you haven’t already, making sure your currant bush thrives in well-draining, moderately fertile soil slightly rich in organic matter can really enhance fruit production, along with its graceful form. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and protect roots during extreme temperatures—a nifty little tip that can make a big difference. And if you’re ever interested in new plant companions that will complement or contrast with your red lake currant, we’d be happy to recommend options customized to your garden's conditions!

Thanks again for letting us know how the Red Lake Currant is fitting into your garden. We’re always excited to hear success stories and beauty in your planting adventures.

Hi Sam,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with your Red Lake Currant Bush! We're delighted to hear it has been so generous with berries and that both you and the birds are enjoying its bounty. It’s truly special when a plant can bring such joy to both nature lovers and local wildlife alike.

If you’re interested, to help your currant bushes thrive even more, be sure they’re planted in well-draining soil and receive full sun for the best berry production. Adding a layer of mulch can also conserve moisture and keep the roots happy. Plus, currants respond well to annual pruning in late winter to encourage healthy new growth.

We’re so glad your little shrub has found a home where it can flourish and provide delight! If you ever want tips on how to keep expanding your garden or if you need advice on other bird-friendly plants, just reach out.
