How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

Grape vines can suffer from powdery mildew in hot, dry weather. Birds and wasps could be problematic if planted outdoors.MORE

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

Plant where the vine will receive around 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

Any fertile, well-draining soil

Grape vines can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they are free draining.

Feed in spring

Apply a general purpose liquid fertiliser in spring in order to promote healthy growth. ?v=1613300718
