'Suffolk Red' Seedless Grape Vine
- Big bunches of grapes with sumptuously sweet, crisp flavour? Yes, please! ‘Suffolk Red’ is a fabulous seedless grape variety, whose fruits can be eaten straight from the vine.
- Delicious both eaten fresh and when used in recipes – be they sweet or savoury – these grapes will be produced in milder parts of the UK, while growing under glass is preferable for particularly cold areas of the country.
- Alongside the fabulous fruits, this vine possesses lovely green foliage which takes on fiery hues of red and orange come autumn time.
- Train your grape vine against a wire trellis on a sunny wall, or even up a freestanding trellis placed inside of a large patio pot.
- Interplant with other sunny customers, like citrus trees and lavenders for a complete Mediterranean-style planting scheme.
