mystery flowering currant variety
I wonder if anyone can help. From a local garden group I have purchased a 'Ribes Gordianum'. It looks like an ordinary flowering currant, except that the flowers are pretty peach and gold coloured. I have trawled the net looking for a bit more info on size etc, and cannot find a mention! Does anyone know of it?
thanks Melanie |

Expect a height 6-8'or more. Spread 5'. No fruits but fabulous racemes of
flowers to nearly 2'!! It was a cross between R. aureum and R.sanguineum. Best Wishes "Stewart Robert Hinsley" wrote in message ... In article m, melanie writes I wonder if anyone can help.
