Ribes Sylvestre Subsp. Hortense

European gooseberry, scientifically known as Ribes sylvestre subsp. hortense, is a deciduous shrub native to Europe and parts of western Asia. It is prized for its tart, edible berries that ripen in late summer and early autumn. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full sunlight. Its ornamental value comes from its vibrant foliage and clusters of small, fragrant flowers. It is a popular choice for gardens and hedgerows due to its hardiness and ability to attract pollinators.
