Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This wonderful vine wears lush bright-green lobed leaves all summer before shifting to its rich fall color when the leaves turn bright-scarlet with lovely green or yellow veins. This 20-30' highly ornamental climber is perfect for trellis or arbor and its small but sweet and fragrant black grapes make it useful for fresh eating or wine. This vine is a winner of the 'Award of Garden Merit' from the Royal Horticulture Society. S/M/GDr
