Upright and deciduous, Chaparral Currant loves the sun if planted near the coast, or part shade if planted inland.  In either case, provide well-draining soil. The foliage is pungently fragrant, and when it has fallen, the peeling bark is attractive. Pretty pink dangling flower clusters appear in very early spring. Its blue-black berries are a bird's late-season snack. During times of summer drought stress, R. malvaceum can drop its leaves - don't worry, this is a normal survival technique. To lessen this effect, mulch the soil well and make sure it gets deep watering in the spring.

This is the earliest Ribes to begin blooming in our garden, buds forming by mid-Feburary and in full bloom by the end of March.
