Grape ‘Cardinal’

A superb table grape from California. Grape ‘Cardinal’ is a mid-early variety that produces big clusters of large, full-flavoured, red grapes with few seeds. As well as eating fresh, they are also good for juicing and raisin-making.

As well as crops of tasty grapes, grapevines also make attractive garden features. These vigorous vines will quickly cover a trellis or pergola, their large lobed leaves providing shade and privacy as well as lovely autumn colour.
