| Cultivation:
Plant Purple Leafed Grape in full sun to very light shade in compost rich, well
drained soil. It will adapt to most soil types. If planted in
shady areas the foliage will be green.
Purple Leafed Grape is a great choice for trellises or arbors
with its summer colored crimson red foliage. In spring when the
foliage first emerges the leaves are green. Come fall the foliage turns dark purple
at
which time it produces inedible purple grapes.

support. Its tendrils will cling to nearly anything. The Grape
Vines can be pruned in spring and fall to maintain a shape
or to confine spread.

Nursery. Cuttings can be taken in spring.
