Blackcurrant Wellington XXX
Currant Red Laxton No.1
Currant VersaillesProduct Description
This Currant Collection produces wonderful tasting fruit that can be eaten fresh or used within culinary dishes, desserts and jams. Currants are incredibly high in Vitamin C and a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. Currants are great for growing in a small fruit garden or also equally effective when grown in containers on a patio or pot where space may be limited. They are easy to grow and produce bunches of fruit, usually in mid-summer depending on the weather. We recommend planting in sunny locations in well-drained soil, preferably in a south facing location where they will thrive. Our collection is made up of three each of Wellington XXX (black fruit), Currant Laxton’s Number 1 and Versailles (white fruit). Two-year-old, three shoots+ plants supplied.
