These Regent vines are lovely strong 3-4 year old grafted plants that have grown on nicely over the summer months and are looking stunning this week with a dramatic flush of autumn colour. Regent grapevines do tend to have the most intense autumnal colours and Autumn is the perfect time to plant vines out so they can get strong roots down for next year. These multi-stemmed, healthy plants will continue to grow on next year producing their first proper harvest in 2026.
Great gifts for gardeners or to welcome families to a new home, grapevines can produce exceptional harvests in the UK in the right spot. Choose somewhere that the roots can get some shade but that the leaves and fruits will get plenty of sunshine. A south facing wall, trellis or fence is ideal and over time these grapevines will spread up to 20m both up and along the space available. If space is tight, don't worry they respond well to pruning and can easily be kept a manageable size with a quick trim each winter.



Excellent quality.

Grape Vines are surprisingly well suited to the UK climate. In the right spot they are vigorous growers and can produce heavy crops of fruit from August to October.
Your grapevine will do best in a sunny but sheltered spot, ideally south facing with shaded or cool roots in summer. Grapevines need to be protected from cold winds, but they are fairly frost hardy and will put on fresh and vigorous leaf growth in the spring. Vines do well in a variety of soils but chalky and silty soils are prized by wine makers for the subtle flavours they add to the wine. Please check the label on your vine for more specific details on grape variety and suitable positions for your vine.
Ideally your grapevine should be transplanted shortly after arrival either into a larger pot or barrel or into the ground. Grapevines can be planted at almost any time of year as long as the ground is frost free. Before planting, submerge the pot in a bucket of water for 10 minutes and add a top dressing of seaweed feed or fish, blood and bone to help it get settled in. If you want to keep your vine in its existing pot for a little longer for whatever reason, it will need regular watering, and will appreciate some ordinary liquid feed.
To get the best fruit from your grapevine, you do need to start pruning it next year. The results are well worth the effort!
Mildew is the greatest problem with grapevines but many of the newer varieties have a good resistance. Mildew is caused by prolonged damp conditions or by irregular watering, if your plant is in a pot try moving it to a sunnier position and always train it to encourage airflow round each branch. Grapevines are deciduous so don't be alarmed if it drops its leaves over the winter.
Different varieties are better suited to wine making or eating but don't forget the more sunshine the fruits receive the sweeter the grapes will taste.
