My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

Nice addition to the Garden
We like currants and have a couple of bushes that have been growing here for years, but were looking played out. But when I went to buy new ones, I found out that most currants can't be planted in New Jersey. Not sure whether that's an agricultural critique of Gov. Christie. Joking aside, the champagne currants can be shipped to NJ. This the second summer after planting and they are already getting ready to fruit. They look good and healthy and I am real happy I planted them.

No luck with Pink Champagne Currant
Sorry but our Pink Champagne Currant was a major disappointment! It did not survive the growing season. While last summer was unusually hot and dry, we did keep up with watering and our many other currant bushes did fine. Thumbs down on this one!
