Details
Blackcurrant ‘Ben Lomond’ is a strong growing deciduous variety which produces large crops of vitamin rich blackcurrants in mid-summer, ideal for culinary or dessert use. The sweet tasting fruits are produced on the previous year's growth and also keep very well if frozen. They develop into heavy clusters all along the stems, hanging down low towards the ground under their own weight.

Plant Care
Please remember that you're not buying 9cm tall plants. 9cm refers to the diameter of the pot commonly used in plant retail.
The size of the plant can vary greatly.
Most will be between 10-30cm tall unless they are naturally low growing plants or if you are buying herbaceous plants in winter.
In order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
