If you want a tasty grape that you can serve fresh for company, the Bluebell Grape 'Vitus Bluebell' is one of the best.  The berries are blue-black in color and medium to large in size.  The Bluebell resembles a Concord but the skin is more tender and the hardiness is better.  This makes a good substitute for a Concord in the colder Northern climates.  Bluebell grapes are often used for wines as well as fresh, in salads and many other recipes.

The Bluebell is very ornamental with its attractive fruit, summer foliage, a bit of fall color and a twisted trunk.  Grapes can be grown on fences, trellises and walls.  They should be planted with a Southern exposure for best ripening.  The Bluebell will grow from 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, sometimes used as a hedge.  Moist, well-drained soil is preferred.  It is hardy from zones 4 to 8.  It will flower in June and ripen in early to mid-September in the Northern climates.  For an attractive plant and healthy eating too, this would be a great choice!
