Rogers Red wild grape
This vigorous climbing vine grows 3-6 ft per year. It turns flaming red before losing it’s leaves. Also sets fruit profusely, with occasional water. The grapes are sweet, but a bit seedy making them a favorite snack for many types of wildlife.
Great used to cover fences, trellises, arbors, or as ground cover. The intense coloring will catch everyone’s eyes. Prune annually to control growth rate.
Cultivars such as this are horticultural selections and hybrids, not part of the native ecology but work beautifully in the garden.
