Cold-hardy and one of the finest dessert wine varieties, award-winning Vitis 'Boskoop Glory' is a vigorous deciduous climbing shrub or vine producing sweet and aromatic black grapes. They can be eaten fresh from the vine or used for making wine. Reliable and disease resistant, 'Boskoop Glory' features finely-shaped, dark green leaves which turn vibrant shades of coral, scarlet, and purple in fall. Fragrant, insignificant greenish-white flowers appear in early summer, followed by clusters of juicy, blue-black grapes in late summer or early fall. 'Boskoop Glory' is an excellent combination of fantastic foliage that can clothe a structure beautifully and excellent fruit. Give it plenty of sun, a sheltered spot, and sturdy support, and it will reward you with its best fruits.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Usually ripens mid-early in the season, making it perfect for Northern gardeners. The grapes make excellent wine if left on the vines long enough to boost the sugars.
  • Easy to grow, this Grape Vine can grow up to 20-30 ft. tall (6-9 m) and 6-10 ft. wide (1.8-3 m).
  • Thrives in full sun in deep, loamy, humus-richmedium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but good drainage is essential. Best sited in a location sheltered from winter winds (preferably a sunny south-facing slope) and well removed from frost pockets. Needs good air circulation.
  • Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems such as pergolas, walls, or fences. Perfect in cottage gardens or Mediterranean gardens.
  • Propagate by hardwood cuttings or grafting onto Phylloxera resistant rootstocks
  • May be affected by powdery mildew and botrytis
