White currant/bunch currant (Ribes rubrum 'Werdavia') BIO - 2 liter pot

White currant 'Werdavia' is a strong, productive shrub that produces attractive clusters of large, pale yellow to white berries in June and July. The shrub grows compactly to about 1–1.5 m tall, making it suitable for smaller gardens or pots. It blooms in spring with small, inconspicuous flowers and then offers a bountiful harvest. The plant grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded location.

Tips and care:

• Planting: September to March, later is also possible, but keep in mind that you'll need to provide extra water in warm weather as the roots aren't yet well established. The currant grows as a shrub and therefore doesn't require support.
• Pruning : Currants should be pruned in the fall. They don't require much pruning, especially not in the first few years. However, if the plant becomes too large or yields decline, some pruning may be necessary.
• Open ground or pots: you can grow all soft fruit in pots; the larger the pot, the better they will do. They will always grow better and produce more fruit in the open ground.
