Description:
Ribes rubrum 'Red Lake' is a fruit-bearing shrub known for its tart, edible red berries and self-pollinating yellowish-green flowers. The plant's maple-leaf-shaped light green leaves add to its ornamental appeal. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and iron, making it a nutritious addition to gardens. 'Red Lake' is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 7, preferring full sun to partial shade. The berries are suitable for various culinary uses, and the plant blooms on old wood, so renewal pruning is recommended to maintain its productivity.
