'Boskoop Glory' Seedless Outdoor Grape Vine
- Many people think they can’t grow grapes in the UK because of the weather. Wrong! ‘Boskoop Glory’ is a popular outdoor cultivar that produces abundant purple grapes from late summer into autumn.
- Resistant to disease and, most importantly, tolerant of the cold, this cultivar is an excellent choice for UK-growing, and is able to tolerate the less-than-Mediterranean climate we have here in Britain.
- Sweet and oh-so-juicy, the grapes are delicious eaten straight from the vine or used in salads and desserts. You can even try your hand at some home winemaking with your grapes.
- Reliable and prolific, there’s a good reason why this Dutch variety has been so popular since its development in the 1950s. Oh, and did we mention that it’s seedless, too?
- ‘Boskoop Glory’ is a deserved recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, an accolade conferred on those plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
