‘Flame’ is a seedless variety of grape that produces huge bunches of sweet and crisp skinned fruits, with only a touch of sharpness present. Extremely popular for good reason with UK gardeners, as well as with commercial growers, they’re just as ideal grown outdoor or in greenhouses. Height: 180cm (71”). Spread: 150cm (59”).
Growing Information
When growing grape vines choose a sunny position in any well drained soil. A south facing position against a wall is ideal. Grape vines require sturdy support for their twining stems. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts or attached to a warm wall. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant grape vines against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 2m (6’) between plants. After planting, reduce the newly planted grape vine back to height of the lowest support wire, and cut back any side shoots to one bud, before tying the main stem in to the supporting wires.
