Black Currant (Ribes nigrum)

A cold-hardy fruiting shrub prized for its intensely flavoured, antioxidant-rich berries. The small black fruits are tart and aromatic, traditionally used in jams, jellies, syrups, and cordials. A classic northern fruit that thrives in cool climates and food forests.

Seeds benefit from cold stratification. Sow outdoors in fall or winter, or use winter sowing methods to allow natural freeze–thaw cycles to break dormancy. Seedlings emerge in spring and grow steadily into hardy, long-lived shrubs.

At least 25 seeds per packet.
