White Icicle Flowering Currant

Ribes sanguineum 'White Icicle', commonly known as Flowering Currant, is a deciduous shrub prized for its stunning displays of white flower clusters that bloom in early spring. California Native, this hardy plant reaches 6–8 feet tall and produces fragrant, pendant clusters of tubular blooms that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Berries follow the flowers—small, blue-black, and edible, though tart. Perfect for native plant gardens, hedgerows, and mixed borders, this low-maintenance shrub adds seasonal interest and ecological value while complementing a naturalistic landscape aesthetic.
