Pink Champagne is a white currant selection that ripens translucent blush-pink to pale red berries with a notably mild, sweet flavor for a currant. It is prized for eating fresh and for its ornamental, jewel-like clusters.
Growing Pink Champagne Currant
Grow in Zones 3 to 7, preferably with afternoon shade in hot climates and consistent moisture. It is self-fertile; harvest clusters when the berries are clear, pink-blushed, and sweet, typically around midseason.
