This heirloom variety (Vitis rotundifolia) produces clusters of large, thick-skinned grapes that are excellent for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and wine. The vine's lush green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, making it a beautiful addition to arbors, trellises, and fences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuscadine grapes thrive in warm, humid climates and are well-adapted to the southeastern United States. They are self-fertile or require a pollinator depending on the variety; this starter plant will establish quickly and begin bearing fruit within a few years under optimal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom variety with sweet, musky fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVigorous, disease-resistant vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive ornamental foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for fresh eating, juice, jelly, and wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptable to arbors, trellises, and fences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitis rotundifolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, slightly acidic soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Climbing vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-100 feet if unsupported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-20 feet apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant your bare root Muscadine grape starter in early spring or late fall when the plant is dormant. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bending them. Set the plant at the same depth it was growing previously, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Provide a trellis or support for the vine to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Muscadine grapes are relatively drought-tolerant. Prune annually during the dormant season to maintain shape and encourage fruit production. Fertilize lightly in early spring. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Muscadine Grape starter plant as a bare root.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739754070326,"sku":"EDNA-218","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8132549089_4982.jpg?v=1792115135","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-muscadine-grape-starter-plant-heirloom-vitis-rotundifolia-vine-1-bare-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
