'Exalta' Outdoor Grape Vine
- If you look up the definition for exalt, you'll find that it means "to praise something (or someone) highly", and that's exactly what we're going to do with this grape vine because *boy* is it a good 'un!
- In early autumn, 'Exalta' produces sizable bunches of chartreuse grapes with excellent sweetness, perfect for popping straight in your mouth or for using in recipes in the kitchen
- It also boasts great ornamental value, too, with highly attractive, serrated and lobed green leaves that usually take on deep orange and yellow hues before falling
- An ideal choice for a sunny, south-facing garden, this grape vine can easily be grown against a wall or fence, or trained up an arbour or pergola
- Although naturally hardy, this grape vine will appreciate a more sheltered planting location where possible
- Few plants are as evocative as grape vines, so if you're looking to add character and Mediterranean charm to your garden, then opting for a grape vine like 'Exalta' is a great way to go
