  • About this plant

    Vitis coignetiae, also known as crimson glory vine, is a striking, deciduous climber grown primarily for its spectacular foliage. Large, heart-shaped leaves emerge green in spring, turning brilliant shades of red, purple, and orange in autumn. Though it may produce small, inconspicuous flowers and fruits, its main ornamental value lies in its dramatic seasonal colour. Ideal for covering large walls, fences, or pergolas, it brings bold structure and a fiery autumn display to spacious gardens.

Planting guide

Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained soil with a sturdy support. Best suited to larger gardens or open walls where it can spread freely. Water well in the first season and mulch annually.

Care tips

Prune back hard in winter to manage growth and rejuvenate old wood. Feed in early spring to support foliage development. Provide strong support as it becomes heavy when mature.

Winter care

No special winter protection required. Prune in late winter to control size and shape, especially if grown near buildings or boundaries.
