Seeds have natural dormancy and may germinate slowly or unevenly, even after cold stratification. Established plants are drought-tolerant and adapted to relatively dry, rocky environments. Berry flavor varies and may be bland or tart, making this species especially valuable for ornamental landscaping and wildlife rather than commercial fruit production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat will I receive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e60 Red Wax Currant (Ribes cereum) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the seeds need cold stratification?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
