A fairly vigorous, disease-resistant, outdoor grape that will produce clusters of blue-black, edible seeded grapes that have a deliciously sweet flavour. Its attractive foliage forms great summer cover when grown over a pergola, and it turns vibrant shades of red and orange in autumn before it falls. For good fruit development, it will appreciate being grown against a warm and sunny, south-facing wall with protection from cold winds.
How to care for grape Regent (PBR):
