Ribes divaricatum, 1 gal.
Description: Spreading gooseberry is a thicket-forming member of the currant family with gracefully arching branches and sparse but imposing 1-inch spines. Its nodding flowers are made up of a dark crimson calyx that sweeps backward with maturity to reveal small white red-tinged petals and protruding stamens. The round fruits are glossy purple and are edible. This gooseberry is well suited to moist and partially shady parts of the wildlife garden and makes an excellent barrier plant for the hedgerow.
