Grow your own productive berry bushes with these Black Currant seeds, collected from Alaska-proven plants. Currants are prized for their flavorful berries, high productivity, cold hardiness, and adaptability, making them an excellent addition to home orchards, edible landscapes, and homestead gardens.

These seeds are mixed varieties, as currants do not grow true from seed. Each seedling may display unique characteristics in growth habit, fruit size, flavor, and productivity. This diversity offers gardeners the opportunity to select exceptional plants adapted to their local conditions.

Black currants produce abundant harvests of nutrient-rich berries that can be enjoyed fresh or used in jams, syrups, juices, wines, desserts, and preserves. With proper care, plants can become long-lived and highly productive additions to the garden.

You will receive fresh seeds ready for stratification and planting.
