Where space is limited, Blackcurrant 'Summer Pearls Patio' is the perfect choice for growing in containers. With a naturally bushy and compact habit, it produces excellent crops in the smallest of spaces! Glossy, black fruits with a distinctive tart flavour make are borne in profusion in early summer – perfect for adding to summer puddings or making your own flavoursome jams. Height and spread: 100cm (39”).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

After planting, reduce the stems to 2 buds above ground level to promote sturdy new growth. Keep blackcurrant plants well watered during dry periods, particularly as the fruits are developing. Netting the bushes will help to protect the currants from birds. Blackcurrants can be harvested from July.
After the first season, prune out any thin or weak shoots. In the following years prune out any damaged or weak shoots before removing 20% of the remaining stems to create an open bush, and encourage fresh new shoots to develop. Culinary note: Blackcurrants are delicious when eaten fresh in a fruit salad or added to a colourful and tasty summer pudding. Suitable for freezing.
