Grow Your Own Delicious Concord Grapes
The Concord Grape Plant, scientifically known as Vitis labrusca, is a fantastic addition to any garden, offering the joy of growing your own sweet, flavorful grapes. This live, rooted starter plant is ready to thrive in USDA zones 5-9. Imagine harvesting your own grapes for juice, jelly, or even homemade wine. You will receive one rooted starter plant, carefully taken out of its growing pot and shipped in a protective box to ensure its safe arrival.
This is a vine plant, so it will need support as it grows. The grape is a late-ripening variety, producing medium-sweet, purple/blue grapes. Best of all, this plant is self-pollinating, making it easy to grow even if you only have space for one vine. Plus, you can feel good knowing that it is grown without any pesticides or non-organic fertilizers, ensuring a natural and healthy harvest from your very own grape vine.
One of the most popular uses for these grapes is in making grape jelly – the quintessential ingredient in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But the possibilities do not stop there! These grapes are also excellent for making full-bodied juice or even your own house wine. And if you are looking for a healthy treat, studies suggest that grape juice offers many of the same health benefits as red wine, without the alcohol. Cultivating a sweet grapevine brings both culinary delight and potential health advantages.
