Plant this ornamental fruit for its beautiful -- and tasty -- berries.
Currants belong in every garden that will have them. Low-fuss, adaptable plants, these shrubs prefer to be planted in full morning sun with shade to cool them later in the day. They are hardy from USDA Zones 3-8. Their attractive flowers are followed by pearls of tart, translucent berries in early summer, perfect for stripping from their stems with your teeth or for turning into clear jellies.
