Description

Ribes sanguineum ‘Porky’s Pink’

Ribes sanguineum ‘Porky’s Pink’ is a striking flowering currant, admired for its vibrant spring display and garden versatility. In early to mid-spring, it bursts into pendulous clusters of bright pink flowers, each delicately scented and a magnet for pollinators. These eye-catching blooms appear against a backdrop of fresh green, maple-like foliage, which releases a characteristic scent when brushed. Compact and bushy in habit, this deciduous shrub reaches around 1.5–2m, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, informal hedging, or wildlife-friendly plantings. Hardy and easy to grow, it thrives in sun or light shade, providing cheerful, reliable colour year after year.
