Concord Grape Vines are classic, vigorous, and deciduous vines known for their delicious, deep purple fruit and attractive foliage. They are commonly grown for their sweet-tart grapes, which are perfect for fresh eating, juice, jams, and jellies. These vines are hardy and adaptable, making them an excellent choice for home gardens and vineyard settings alike. Features: Color: Dark green leaves with a slightly blue hue, and vibrant clusters of deep purple grapes when in fruit. Fragrance: While not strongly scented, the foliage emits a pleasant, earthy aroma when brushed against. Wildlife and Pest Resistance: Concord Grape Vines attract various birds, bees, and butterflies. They are generally resistant to many pests and diseases, although occasional pest management may be necessary. Planting Zone Information: Concord Grape Vines thrive in USDA hardiness zones 4-9, making them suitable for a wide range of climates across the United States. Sun Preferences: Full sun is ideal for Concord Grape Vines, although they can tolerate partial shade. However, full sun exposure ensures optimal fruit production and ripening. Drought Tolerance: While Concord Grape Vines prefer consistently moist soil, they have moderate drought tolerance once established. Adequate watering, especially during dry spells, helps maintain plant health and fruit production. Planting Instructions for Bareroot Vines: Selecting a Site: Choose a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Ensure there is proper support such as a trellis, fence, or arbor for the vines to climb. Preparing the Soil: Before planting, amend the soil with organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and fertility. Remove any weeds or debris from the planting area. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root system of the bareroot vine. Spread the roots out in the hole and backfill with soil, gently firming it around the roots. Ensure the graft union (if present) is above the soil line. Support: Install a sturdy trellis or support system near the newly planted vine to provide structure for growth. Train the young vines onto the support system as they grow. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season, to promote establishment. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the vine to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Pruning: Prune the vine in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant for optimal growth and fruit production. Maintenance: Monitor the vine for pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies throughout the growing season. Provide additional support as needed to prevent damage from heavy fruit clusters. Harvesting: Concord grapes typically ripen in late summer to early fall. Harvest the grapes when they are fully colored and slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor. ***We recommend that you wait 7 to 10 days from the date of receipt before repotting your plants, to allow them to recover from the shock of shipping*** Proud Products Guarantee!!

If your plants have received less-than-ideal care or were purchased for planting outside of your recommended growing zone, your purchase isn’t covered by our guarantee. Zone recommendations are provided in our listings. Use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. This allows your plants the longest possible growing season. Summer and very early fall are also suitable, as long as your plant is placed in optimal conditions and receives adequate water. Late fall and winter are very risky in most areas.
