As the name implies, this currant is most distinguished by its beautiful reddish-pink flowers. Although small, collectively they are very showy in tall racemes at the branch ends. They are borne in long racemes at the ends of the branches. The fruit is blue-black with a whitish "bloom", and is an added attraction for this plant; they are edible but not tasty.

Red-flowering Currant is a beautiful shrub for the small or large garden.

These plants are grown from cuttings.
