Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Black currant seeds benefit from stratification (cold treatment) to break dormancy. Place seeds in a moist medium in the refrigerator for 2-4 months before planting.
Sowing:

Start seeds indoors in early spring or late fall. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in trays or pots filled with seed starting mix.
Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks when kept at a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Transplanting:

Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune annually to remove old wood and encourage new growth.
