Ribes aureum

Golden Flowering Currant
The Golden Flowering Currant offers great value with a long season of interest. In spring, it produces an abundance of clove-scented, trumpet-shaped yellow flowers. These are followed by red berries that ripen to black and are edible, perfect for jams, pies, and juices. The shrub has deeply lobed green foliage that transforms into shades of red and yellow in the fall. Hardy and adaptable to well-draining soils, the Golden Flowering Currant is tolerant of both drought and full shade. It’s an excellent choice for shrub borders, informal hedges, or as an edible plant in the garden.
