Description
- 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 decadent 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, which is awarded to plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.

How to grow
High Disease/Pest Resistance
Grape vines can suffer from powdery mildew in hot, dry weather. Birds and wasps could be problematicMORE
Water Regularly in Summer
Grape vines are fairly drought tolerant, but can suffer from powdery mildew if too dry at the roots. Water thoroughly in dry spring and summer weather to avoid this
Full sun
Position in Full Sun (6h+)
Well drained soil
Grape vines can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they are free draining. Sandy gravel over chalk is ideal
Prune Regularly
The main pruning season for grape vines is early winter, but they need regular pruning and maintenance throughout the growing season to keep them manageable and productive

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
