Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Green mound currant is a small, globe-shaped green shrub. It has glossy, dark green leaves on thin branches.
Smaller than alpine currant, it is a nice, compact, low-maintenance plant. It produces insignificant, greenish yellow clusters of flowers in spring, but no fruit.
Green mound currant has proven to be a drought-tolerant shrub at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It is a nice, dark green, compact shrub.
Sometimes it produces a few branches that are taller than normal. We simply prune them out to shape the shrub.
Prune occasionally to achieve desired shape.
