Ribes aureum aka Golden Currant

Ribes aureum, also known as golden currant, clove currant, pruterberry, and buffalo currant, is a small to medium-sized deciduous shrub that is native to North America. It can grow up to 3 meters tall and has green leaves with 3 or 5 lobes that turn red in autumn. Unlike other currant species, Ribes aureum is remarkably drought-tolerant and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in traditional, native plant, drought-tolerant, and wildlife gardens, as well as in natural landscaping projects. Golden currant is a rare houseplant that is not challenging to grow and requires regular watering. It prefers long-lasting, direct light and should be less than 1 foot away from a window. Additionally, it thrives in soil that is well-draining and does not require added fertilizers if repotted every time it doubles in size. Golden currant belongs to the Ribes genus and is native to Canada, most of the United States, and northern Mexico.
