Vitis vinifera {Grape – Ornamental}

Ornamental Grape, or Vitis vinifera, is related to the common grape vine although this variety does not fruit as much. This is a fast-growing deciduous vine with new foliage mid to deep green, and as autumn approaches, the foliage turns to reds and crimson – creating a spectacular ornamental backdrop. Grow it over a pergola as a living shade or along a fence as a screen.
