Purple Gooseberry seed was collected locally from an old unidentified garden variety, probably Ribes uva-crispa or a European gooseberry hybrid. The fruit turns from green to purple as it ripens.

Seedlings will vary and will not be copies of the parent, but some should produce similar purple fruit.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
