Description
Vitis vinifera ‘Purpurea’ is most attractive deciduous, fast growing, tendrilled vine grown mainly for its grey-green foliage that turns a dark purple in autumn. It produces dark purple sour grapes, very attractive to birds, which look very ornamental against the leaves. It will need some support from the start as the leaf mass gets fairly weighty. Dyer’s Grape is best suited to roam freely, perhaps around a tree, or to brighten a long stretch of wall or fence.
