Bought native shrub: King Edward VII Redcurrant Flowering Plant (Ribes sanguineum) 6 weeks ago in a 2 gallon pot for $36.95 with tax.
Shrub has been repotted into a 3 gallon (12" x 9" x 7") grey pot with lots of room for its roots to grow in the fall and winter.
Wildlife support: The King Edward VII 'Ribes sanguineum' is prized for its pendulous clusters of vivid, crimson-pink flowers hanging below the branches in early spring that are a magnet and an important source of food for hummingbirds.
These flowers act as a beacon for the returning Rufous hummingbirds from Mexico early spring who will be arriving exhausted and hungry after their 2-month, ~ 6,000 kilometres grueling migration back to the Pacific North West.
