Delicious and improved classic American native Catawba Grape Vine (Vitis x 'Catawba') have been used for wine, jellies, and fresh eating since they were first cultivated in American gardens in 1801! We at Nature Hills are proud to offer this classic Grape to the 21st-century gardener! Catawba Grapes are stronger now and more resistant to diseases.
The Catawba produces bunches of coppery-red seedless Grapes from late September to October. This fruit has a pronounced musky flavor that is sweet and is often used to make Blush and Rosé wines. From the blooms to the fruit, these are excellent vertically growing edible landscaping plants for all sunny areas of your garden and landscape!
Discovered in North Carolina, Catawba was the king of American vineyards in the early nineteenth century, rivaling wines produced in Europe at the time. The one-two punch of a powdery mildew blight and the decimation of vineyards during the Civil War led to this once-famous Grape's drop into obscurity. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 through 8 and highly adaptable.
Planting and Application:
Use these strong growers to cover a patio or scramble up a pergola. They will ramble along a fence or fill a large pot. The leaves turn a classic fall gold in autumn, which just adds to the pleasure of growing these beauties at home. Planting this fruiting Vine over a pergola or arbor creates lovely shade and the feeling that your seating areas or garden benches transport you to Tuscany or that you are having breakfast in a vineyard!
Beautiful on its own, as a specimen plant, or as part of the larger landscape, Catawba Grapes are sure to please. Stake up or secure your Vines to a trellis or on strong support for these Grapes. Even a strong fence will do well for these Grape Vines, providing screening and privacy along with the delicious fruit! Use netting or mesh bags to protect your harvest from the birds, but the bees adore the blooms in the spring.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
They are easy to grow with a little TLC and plenty of sunshine. Just give it full sun and plenty of water to get it established and it will reward you with years of delicious fruit. The Catawba prefers enriched, deep, acidic and well-drained soil but can tolerate a wide range of soil types. Provide regular moisture and a 3-4 inch thick mulch layer to support the roots, plus regular fertility. Prune Grapevines should be performed in late winter or early spring to maintain the shape, size, and vigor of next year's fruiting wood.
