Downy currant is generally considered easy to maintain, thriving best in cooler climates with moist, well-drained soil. It requires minimal pruning, primarily for shaping and removing dead wood. The most critical care point for downy currant is ensuring adequate water during dry spells, especially when establishing new plants, as they have shallow root systems. Protection from strong winds can also benefit downy currant, as it prefers a sheltered position to support its growth habit.
