In addition to black currants (Ribes americanum), northern black currants (R. hudsonianum) and prickly currants (R. lacustre) are native to the prairie provinces. Red and white currants are not native to this region, so you won’t find them in the wild. However, you’ll have no trouble finding many cultivars of all types of currants available for purchase in nurseries and garden centres to grow in your own garden. Currants are ideal for the small space garden (or to tuck into nooks and crannies in a larger garden). They are attractive small shrubs, generally reaching a height of only 5 or 6 feet, with a similar spread. The bright green, fine-lobed leaves resemble small maple tree leaves. The leaves change to yellow or red in autumn, depending on the cultivar. Another currant of note is the clove currant (R. aureum var. villosum, sometimes listed as R. odoratum), which, despite the fact that it has delicious edible berries, is usually grown as an ornamental plant and features yellow flowers with an incredible spicy-sweet fragrance.
