Red flowering currant is an Idaho native shrub that grows to 6-8' at maturity. Red flower clusters bloom in the spring, followed by blue to black berries in the fall that are unpalatable to humans but are a valuable food source to wildlife. The leaves are similar to maple leaves in shape and turn yellow in autumn. This shrub prefers well-drained sites with dry to moist soil, full sun to partial shade. It's an excellent choice as a landscape plant, soil stabilizer, natural hedge or in the outer row of a multiple-row windbreak.
