Planting & Care

A remarkable and traditional shrub, 'Laxton's Number One' yields abundant clusters of glossy red fruits in summer.
Redcurrants resemble tiny, precious rubies, with a concentrated, juicy flavour perfect for jellies, baking, or eating fresh.
This late-blooming variety is well-known for its resistance to mildew.
Provides significant ornamental value, with striking red berries contrasting beautifully against lush green, lobed leaves.
Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', it's an excellent choice for enhancing your garden's wildlife.

Species: Redcurrant
Features: Fully hardy, Heavy cropper, Self fertile, Colourful berries & fruits
Flowering Time: May
Harvest Time: July, August
Flower Colour: Yellowish green
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: An attractive bushy plant with a generally upright habit.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 0.5-1.5m.
Hardiness: H6 - This redcurrant variety is cold hardy down to temperatures of approximately -20°C.
Soil Type: Grows in most soils provided that some moisture is retained. If your soil is particularly dry or poor, then consider enriching it with some organic matter.
Tasting Notes: Concentrated juicy flavour
Uses: Jellies, baking, cooking and eating fresh

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant 1-1.5m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Redcurrants appreciate routine watering when newly planted to help them establish properly. Beyond this, however, they don't really need extra watering, except for in prolonged hot or dry spells.
Feeding: When spring rolls around, apply a high-potassium fertiliser. Redcurrant plants grown in containers will require more frequent liquid feeding.
Pruning: Redcurrants appreciate being pruned twice per year, once towards the end of winter and then again in the summer.
Pests & Diseases: Typically untroubled by pests or diseases but keep an eye out for aphids, sawflies, scale insects, grey mould, mildew and leaf spot.
