About
the Alpine Currant :
The Alpine Currant, Ribes alpinum,
is a very hardy hedge plant that can
be kept trimmed to any desired
height from 18 inches to 4 feet. The
abundant green, glossy foliage forms
a dense hedge. Grows well in sun or
shade and is rarely bothered by
insects or plant diseases.
The Alpine Currant can survive
the coldest of winter climates with
annual temperatures as low as -50°
Fahrenheit. It does well in dry
soils. Alpine currant is drought
tolerant
