Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Pruning is required to encourage flowering and fruiting, and to increase air circulation and so reduce the risk of disease: see grape pruning and training

Propagation

Propagate by hardwood cuttings in late autumn or winter, or by softwood cuttings or semi-ripe cuttings from late spring to midsummer or grafting onto Phylloxera resistant rootstocks

Growing

Grow outdoors in full sun, best against a sheltered warm wall, in well-drained, humus-rich, neutral to alkaline soil, mulch to keep soil moist, for detailed advice, see outdoor grape cultivation. Grow indoors in a greenhouse or conservatory to produce a good crop in cold areas, for detailed advice see indoor grape cultivation
