Hummingbirds Love The Gorgeous Showy Winter Blooms
Native, water wise plants that work in a variety of settings are absolute treasures. Pink Flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum) is an underused gem that works beautifully in a formal garden, a bird and butterfly garden, or a woodland garden. Best of all, it blooms when other plants don’t – and oh! what showy blooms.
Pendulous floral structures develop, then explode into a gathered collection of sweetly pink trumpet shaped blossoms that glimmer with an opalescent sheen when fully opened. This is the perfect shape for hummingbirds to collect nectar, so get ready to see a lot of your busy winged friends in your garden.
The versatile shrub grows in an upright, vase-shape form. Plant in well-drained soil in dappled shade for best blooms. You’ll need to water occasionally, but it’s surprisingly tolerant of periodic drought.
You’ll be so pleased to see the pendant flowers as they droop open so beautifully in winter – order your today!
