Redcurrants thrive especially well in a warm, partially shaded location. Some hours a day - especially in the morning and evening hours - they also like direct sun.
Hot midday sun, however, tolerate the bushes only badly.
A very good location is in partial shade under tall trees. Keep a sufficient planting distance when planting. It should be at least half as wide as the adult shrub will later become high.
Tips
Redcurrants bloom very early. Due to late frosts in spring, the flowers freeze. Make sure that the red currant is in a somewhat protected location.
