Ribes x gordonanium is a hybrid between Ribes sanguineum (flowering currant) and Ribes petraeum (Rock redcurrant). It is a medium sized spineless shrub with aromatic foliage and that bears pendent clusters of tubular two-tone red and yellow flowers in Spring
Flowering season.
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Ribes sanguineum varieties produce flowers in mid-spring. They have a pungent smell.
Plant container plants
From Early Spring TO Late Autumn
Plant container grown plants in spring or autumn. They tolerate a wide range of soil types that are fairly moist and well drained and prefer full sun or partial shade.
Propagation by Hardwood Cuttings
From Mid Autumn TO Late Autumn
Take hardwood cuttings of up to 3cm from this years growth, taken in autumn, making a clean cut from above a shoot and remove any soft growth. Nearly fill a container with fine grit at the bottom, to enable free draining, and a suitable compost. Place the cutting, having dipped he end in a rooting compound first, with a third of the cutting showing.
