The Worden Grape Vine (Vitis x 'Worden') is an interspecific hybrid between Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. Making it an open-pollinated 'Concord' type fruiting vine! The fruit is darker than Concord and ripens about 2 weeks earlier.

Spring brings a burst of fresh green foliage that fills out this woody vine and greenish-yellow flowers soon follow! These clusters of blooms may not be the showiest, but they are musky sweet smelling and attract many pollinators and bees to perform the work of pollination for you! The lush foliage fills out all summer and shades the developing clusters of grapes.

Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 8, Worden Grape Vines are deciduous woody fruiting vines that can grow 12-18 feet in height and have a spread of 10-20 feet wide, depending upon how they are trained.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Fruiting vines and plants need the powers of the full sun to have the largest crops and healthiest vines, so provide a location that receives morning sun to dry the leaves of dew and then gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Plant in enriched, highly organic well-drained soils for best results, with good air circulation and don’t forget to use Nature Hills Root Booster for lifelong symbiotic support at the roots from day one. Mulch the entire root system with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips to keep the roots cool and moist. Winter prune your dormant vines to allow about 4 bunches per stem of last year's wood.
