I apologize if this has been covered in a previous post. I searched the forum and found a reference to Coyote possibly being misnamed as White Currant. I am asking because I ordered White Currant seeds from Baker Creek two years ago. Last year, I received a bonus pack of Coyote seeds from Tomato Bob's. I grew out both and the fruits were nearly identical as far as I can remember, but I didn't pay enough attention to the plants to notice if they had all of the same traits.

They were my grandmother's favorite last year, so I'll be growing two of each again this year and saving seed. I'm would like to call them by the correct name, if they are the same. I wasn't sure if there was any more information out there about the two. I can find a lot of listings for Coyote seeds, but not many for White Currants.
