Planting a

To improve drainage and fertility, it may be necessary to amend the soil before planting. Adding organic matter, such as compost, can enrich the soil and promote healthy growth. When planting Ribes aureum, dig a hole slightly larger and deeper than the root ball. Leave enough space (3 to 6 feet) between multiple plants, as the plant can spread through suckering. Gently loosen the roots of the plant and place it in the center of the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, firmly pressing it around the roots to remove air pockets. After planting, water the shrub thoroughly to settle the soil and help establish the roots. During the plant's first growing season, make sure to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
