Ribes sanguineum 'Henry Henneman' | Henry Henneman Flowering Currant

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Ribes sanguineum 'Henry Henneman' bears pendant clusters of pure white flowers in elongated racemes, opening in late winter to early spring and brightening the bare branches. Rounded, softly lobed leaves emerge a fresh green with a lightly textured surface, unfolding alongside the blooms and creating a soft, layered effect. The flowers hang in loose, cascading trusses, drawing early pollinators while the foliage develops into a full, leafy presence through the growing season.

Originating from selections of the western North American species, this cultivar reflects garden breeding that emphasizes clear, luminous flower color. It is well suited to woodland borders, informal hedging, and wildlife gardens, where its early bloom period and nectar-rich flowers support seasonal garden activity.
