Ribes sanguineum 'Johannie Whitenow!' is a vigorous and floriferous cultivar of white- flowered currant bush. This deciduous shrub blooms in early spring, at the same time as its light green foliage develops. Its leaves emit a blackcurrant aroma when crushed, which is why it is also known as "False Blackcurrant". It is a low-maintenance variety that tolerates most soils that are not too dry. It can be integrated into a flowering hedge or a shrub border.
Ribes sanguineum 'Johannie Whitenow!' is a deciduous shrub belonging to the Grossulariaceae family. It is a horticultural selection of Ribes sanguineum, a species native to the United States. 'Johannie Whitenow!' forms a spreading shrub that reaches approximately 1.80m in all directions. Its branches are quite slender and have a beautiful brown colour, ranging from mahogany to reddish. In April, earlier or later depending on the climate, the leaves and flowers appear simultaneously. The leaves, with 5 shallow lobes and toothed edges, measure between 5 and 10cm in length. They are initially very light green and darken as the season progresses.
The inflorescences are pendulous clusters, 6 to 8cm long, composed of small flowers with five pure white petals. Distributed along the length of the branches, the flowers bloom for 3 to 4 weeks. After pollination, small round black fruits covered in bloom form, measuring 7 to 8mm in diameter. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn. The white-flowered currant bush is hardy to approximately -20°C.
The White-Flowered Currant 'Johannie Whitenow!' can be planted alongside weigelas, Forsythias, Hibiscus syriacus, and Japanese quinces in a small hedge that will be in bloom from March to October. All these shrubs are hardy and low-maintenance. In a large border, it can be paired with the botanical rose Rosa glauca or other shrub roses like 'Frisson Frais' or 'Annelies'.

Botanical data
Plant the Flowering Currant 'Johannie Whitenow!' in ordinary, deep, rich soil that does not dry out too much in summer. This bush will thrive in partial shade or full sun, but in a non-scorching exposure. Soak the root ball in a bucket for fifteen minutes while you dig the planting hole (50 x 50 x 50 cm). Add some planting compost to the existing soil, position the root ball, backfill around it, and water thoroughly. Monitor watering during the first year, intervening during hot periods to promote root growth. Once well established, the plant is relatively tolerant.
Pruning is not necessary, except to remove dead wood or correct a slightly sparse habit. Trim the branches by one-third of their size after flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
