Ribes 'Summer Pearls Black'
A compact variety, perfect for patio pots or balconies where space is limited. Glossy black fruits form on short clusters and produce a fragrant aroma. Sweet, and packed with Vitamin C, they are perfect for snacking, cooking or freezing. Early flowers are very attractive to pollinating insects.
