Ribes rubrum 'White Imperial'
The Ribes rubrum 'White Imperial' is a white currant prized for the elegance of its translucent clusters and its delicately sweet flavor. This upright bushy fruit shrub produces long clusters of creamy white to pale yellow berries in summer, which are juicy and slightly tart, perfect for fresh consumption, clear jellies, and refined desserts. Its discreet spring bloom attracts pollinators and promotes abundant and regular fruiting. Its bright green, finely cut foliage adds texture and lightness to the vegetable garden or fruit hedge. The Ribes rubrum 'White Imperial' is distinguished by its hardiness, ease of cultivation, and its ability to produce generously in cold climates, in rich, well-drained soil.
