Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum 'Claremont'
Pendant clusters of pink flowers give this upright deciduous shrub color from late winter into spring. The flowers feed hummingbirds and other pollinators, and birds eat the berries that follow.
Growing conditions
Plant in part sun or bright shade, with protection from hot inland afternoon sun. It grows quickly to about 6 feet tall and wide and adapts to a range of soils with good drainage.
Water regularly through establishment, then give occasional deep water in extended dry weather. Established plants tolerate dry shade and may shed some leaves in summer.
Landscape uses and care
Use as a seasonal screen, woodland-edge accent, or backdrop for lower native perennials. Prune lightly after bloom for shape and remove older stems selectively as needed. Retain some flowering branches for fruit.
