Redcurrant seeds

I'd like to grow some redcurrant plants, but I don't have the money to buy bare-root plants. I don't know anybody I can take cuttings from either, so growing from seeds seems like a good idea. I'm in no rush for big plants.

I can't find any shops online that sell redcurrant seeds though. The closest is an eBay seller from the US. Does anybody here know where I can pick some up in the UK?

Thanks a lot!

 

HBK, I personally wouldn't bother with seeds.

You are unlikely to get a good plant that way.

Bite the bullet and buy just one plant, from a gardencentre, you can then take a cutting or two next year.

 

If you know anyone with a Redcurrant bush, just ask them for a few cuttings.
You just strip the bottom 8", stick it in the ground in a quiet corner and let it get on with it.

You'll have your own bushes next year to transplant where you want it.
