The Vitis riparia produces grapes that were used by our grandmothers to make jams or jellies. Easy to grow, this native climbing plant is perfect for fences, trellises and pergolas in both shade and sun.

Sowing method : Mix seeds with an equal amount of damp sand or vermiculite. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Store the bag in a refrigerator or cool storage room for 30 to 90 days. Sow seeds when there is no risk of ground frost. Or plant the seeds outdoors during the fall. Germination will occur the following spring or later on.
