Awarded the RHS AGM for its outstanding performance in the garden, Grape 'Purpurea' is as much admired for its ornamental beauty as for its deep purple fruits. The lush, lobed green foliage provides excellent cover for bare walls, transforming into striking shades of crimson and purple in the autumn, creating a dramatic effect, especially against brick or stone walls. In summer, the vine produces clusters of green flowers, followed by an autumn harvest of small, flavorful fruits. Though their thick skins and seeds make them less ideal for fresh eating, 'Purpurea' is perfect for making delicious jellies and juices. The fruits also add charm and texture to autumn floral arrangements and table displays. Height (cordon-trained vine): 1.8m (6'). Spread (cordon-trained vine): 1.5m (5'). When left untrained, the vine can grow up to 8m (26'). An RHS AGM variety with superb garden performance! Grape 'Purpurea' is grown as much for its ornamental value as for it deep purple fruits. When growing grape vines choose a sunny position in any well drained soil. A south facing position against a wall is ideal. Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts or attached to a warm wall. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant grape vines against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 2m (6’) between plants. After planting, reduce the newly planted grape vine back to height of the lowest support wire, and cut back any side shoots to one bud, before tying the main stem in to the supporting wires.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
