Botanical Specs & Profile:

Gloire de Sablons is a French heirloom pink currant variety characterized by an upright growth habit and a mature height and spread of 3 to 5 feet. This deciduous shrub produces strings of small, greenish-yellow flowers in early spring, followed by abundant yields of translucent pink berries that ripen in mid-summer. The fruit is tart and flavorful, suitable for fresh eating, desserts, jams, and jellies. The plant is self-fertile, cold-hardy to USDA zones 3 through 8, and shows resistance to mildew and rust. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and requires fertile, well-drained soil.

This product is a dormant cutting that will take root, leaf out, and grow if planted under the right conditions. Since plant propagation success rates can vary depending on climate, location, and timing there is no universal recipe for success.
