The Black 'n' Red Premiere Ribes nigrum, commonly known as blackcurrant, is a variety known for its super sweet, aromatic flavor and medium-sized fruits. Its foliage starts as green in the spring, transitioning into an attractive red hue during the summer and late autumn. This variety boasts resistance to mildew and leaf spot, making it relatively resilient. For optimal growth, it's recommended to plant Black 'n' Red Premiere blackcurrants in a sunny location that is shielded from cold winds and late frosts. These plants thrive in moisture-retentive soils that are well-drained, although they can tolerate a wide range of soil types. When planting in either autumn or spring, it's advisable to prune back all shoots after planting. Although this will result in the loss of fruits in the first year, this practice promotes long-term benefits for the bush's health and productivity.
