Grape Vine 'Sulima' – White Seedless Dessert Grape (3L Pot)

'Sulima' is a reliable white grape carrying generous clusters of sweet, pale green to white seedless fruit.

It is self pollinating, so one vine is enough. Train it along a wall, fence, pergola or arch, where it earns its space twice over: the crop in late summer and early autumn, then large lobed leaves that turn gold before they drop. It will also grow in a large container.

The vine itself is fully hardy right across Britain, but hardiness and ripening are two different things: the grapes need a warm, sheltered, sunny spot, ideally against a south or west facing wall, to ripen properly outdoors. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil and water through the first season while it roots out. Prune every late winter to keep strong fruiting growth coming and to stop the vine running away with itself.

Supplied as a well established vine in a 3 litre root ball, ready to plant outdoors.

Grapes and vine leaves are harmful to dogs.
