Vitis vinifera 'Purpurea' | Purple-leaved Grapevine

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Vitis vinifera 'Purpurea', also known as the purple-leaved grapevine, is a deciduous climber celebrated for its ornamental foliage and seasonal interest. The leaves emerge green but quickly mature to deep reddish-purple, creating a rich, dramatic effect throughout the growing season. Small, greenish flowers appear in early summer, followed by clusters of tiny, dark purple, inedible grapes in late summer to early autumn.

Originating as a cultivated variety of the common grapevine, 'Purpurea' is primarily grown for its decorative value rather than fruit production. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it an excellent choice for covering pergolas, trellises, or walls, offering both vibrant color and texture to garden designs.
