Description
This medium-sized Blackcurrant displays white-pink flowers during May, attractive to pollinating insects, followed by large, juicy clusters of shiny, black berries ready to harvest from June to mid-July. The berries are great for eating, cooking and juicing and can also be used to make jams and syrups.
Planting Position
The Lowberry® Little Black Sugar is a hardy, compact shrub suitable for Containerting and small gardens. The Little Black Sugar will do well in sheltered areas in full sun and moist but well-drained soil.
After Care
Blackcurrants require moderate maintenance. Prune dead, diseased, damaged, congested or crossing shoots; heavy pruning should be carried out during the dormant season and promote new growth in the following season—water only in extremely hot or dry periods.
Size
The Lowberry® Little Black Sugar Blackcurrant can reach a height of 1m with a 1.5m spread.
