The clove currant (Ribes odoratum) pictured above is one of my favorite shrubs. It perfumes the late spring garden with its spicy, clove-scented flowers. It's practically identical to R. aureum yellow flowered currant. (There's a slight difference in the flower.) This clump-forming shrub produces arching branches 6 to 8 feet tall with a comparable spread. Good in full sun to partial shade. Produces black fruit in late summer. Hardy to USDA zone 3.
