I am confused on what height/width this will grown too, I have bought two (on impulse today) and the plant label says 125cm and yet on some sites they state 250cm. I have a place for either size but would prefer to know so I place them correctly and not have to move them again next year.

The wild ones here grow to around 2-2½m in height x 2m width. They're lovely - I've got some cuttings on the go
I think Golden Lanterns (the yellower variety) is a little more compact - around 2 x 2
Oh WOW perfect news..... cant wait to get them in tomorrow..... Thanks So Much
I cut mine hard back every spring.
Mine don't grow more than my night which is 175cm
but its in the shade of very tall oakes, so maybe the conditions affect the spread too.
Good luck!
Hi Verdun
Are they like bamboo that they have rhizomes? If so will go out and take them out.
They are at the back of borders to cover a fence.
Maybe should have got Ribes

No rhizomes but plenty os seedlings round the garden once the birds have eaten the berries. The blackbirds love them.
Mine has been in a sunny position for at least ten years. It's 2m tall and one clump of eight stems. It certainly hasn't spread.
