Vitis vinifera 'Purpurea'

This is a wonderful selection of the common wine grape. One of the best vines for colorful fall foliage, this woody deciduous climber has graceful purple leaves which redden in autumn for a fiery foliage display. Also in autumn, the vine bears clusters of tiny, edible blue-black grapes that are sweet inside but have bitter skins.'Purpurea' is a vigorous large tendril-climber.
