Red-flowering Currant

The Red-flowering Currant is a shrub that originates from the west coast of the United States and British Colombia (Canada).
Since its introduction in the 19th century as a garden shrub, it has become quite popular.

The attractive flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the leaves emerge.
