DUTCH BULBS EXCLUSIVE PLANTS FROM HOLLAND Red Currants Collection – 3 Plants
Product description
Plant these redcurrants in a sunny garden bed or container to grow fruit for picking fresh and using in the kitchen. The collection contains three outdoor plants, supplied bare-root and ready for planting.
As hardy perennials, they can provide a lasting place for redcurrants in your garden. Their flowering period is expected in summer, adding seasonal interest as well as the prospect of home-grown fruit.
Unlike a packet of seeds, this collection gives you three established bare-root plants to grow on. They suit gardeners looking to add fruit bushes to a garden, raised bed or container.
Size & fit
The collection contains three redcurrant plants for outdoor growing. Plant them in a garden or a container, choosing a sunny position to match their stated sunlight requirement. Their perennial growth makes them suited to a fruit-growing space you plan to keep from season to season, rather than a one-off sowing.
The plants are supplied bare-root, so they arrive as plants rather than seeds or bulbs. If you are not planting them straight away, keep them in a cool, dark place before planting. The stated planting periods are autumn and spring, giving you two seasonal windows to get them established.
What stands out
These are edible redcurrant plants, with fruit suited to several everyday uses. Pick the currants to eat fresh, or use them for jams, juices and cakes. Having three plants gives you a small collection to grow together in a garden or container, with the potential to enjoy fruit from perennial bushes over the years.
The summer flowering period brings another seasonal feature to the planting. For someone choosing between seeds and ready-to-grow plants, the bare-root format offers a direct way to start growing redcurrants without beginning with seed. The collection is intended for outdoor use and is described as hardy and perennial.
