Another beautiful variety from Thompson & Morgan! Distinctive, serrated blooms in an unusually deep, burgundy shade, amazingly appear black when glistening in the summer sun, as they sit proudly above glaucous foliage. Easy-to-grow and will add drifts of colour to summer borders. The seed pods that follow flowering are also very attractive and will add interest to flower arrangements at the end of summer. Height: 90-100cm (36-40in).
Simply the largest Blackcurrant we have ever seen - end of. If you like your fruits big and juicy, this is the currant for you. And they are particualrly sweet tasting too straight form the bush. This new variety packs a punch too in yield - with more and bigger fruit, expect to pick crops up to 4Kg (8 lbs) of fruit once mature. And, it is also very mildew and disease ressitance, so makes a great garden variety, and deservedly has just won the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Big Ben - the perfect blackcurrant all-rounder.
