| Description | One of the most popular grapes, prized for its excellent flavor. The vigorous deciduous vine with bold-textured, deep-green foliage produces medium-sized clusters of round, red, seedless fruit with a firm, crisp texture. An early season variety. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous; prized for fruit and foliage. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Fall Color, Showy Fruit, Waterwise, Edible, Fast Growing, Benefits Birds |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Growth Habit | Climbing |
| Landscape Use | Espalier, Privacy Screen |
| Design Ideas | On a trellis or arbor, add this grapevine to the hot, sunny garden and enjoy the early-season harvest, as well as the attractive foliage and winter silhouette of trunk and branch. Also works well as a fruit-bearing fence to enclose a kitchen garden. |
| Flower Color | Green |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Foliage Fall Color | Red |
| Companion Plants | Blackberry (Rubus); Rosemary (Rosmarinus); Fig (Ficus); Lavender (Lavandula); Rose (Rosa) |
| Care Instructions | Easily grown in deep, loamy, humus-rich, well-drained soil, but quite adaptable. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; reduce frequency, once established. Feed with an organic fertilizer from spring to midsummer. Provide sturdy trellis or arbor support. Prune annually to control size. |
| History | This genus, named by Linnaeus from the Latin for life, vitae, because of its connection to wine, the most important beverage of the ancient world. It's generally accepted that the grape originated in Asia Minor, probably around Turkey from a wild plant that produced much smaller fruit. Over time vines were selected for larger fruit suited to both wine making and table grapes. It was not until 1900 in California that the first seedless table grape was developed by W. Thompson. Since then, Flame has proved to be second in popularity to Thompson seedless. |
| Lore | The grape was a primarily agricultural crop of the Romans who refined the art of wine making by collecting cultivars from its Empire to develop improved vineyard varieties. |
