*Carex testacea* 'White Pearl'
FamilyGrossulariaceae
Ribes rubrum ‘White Pearl’, known as the white currant ‘White Pearl’, is a deciduous fruit bush with an upright and compact habit, sought after for the elegance of its translucent clusters and its sweeter flavour compared to red varieties. In summer, it produces long clusters of creamy white to slightly golden fruits, adding a luminous touch to the vegetable garden. Its greenish spring blossoms attract pollinators and ensure regular fruit set. Very hardy and reliable in Nordic climates, Ribes rubrum ‘White Pearl’ adapts well to full sun as well as partial shade. It prefers rich, cool, and well-drained soil to optimize taste quality and yield.
