Description
Vitis amurensis, commonly known as Amur Grape or Siberian Grape, is a vigorous, deciduous climbing vine native to the Amur River region of Siberia, China, and Korea. This cold-hardy species is known for its ability to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), making it one of the hardiest grapevines available. The plant features large, deeply lobed, green leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in autumn, adding ornamental value to landscapes. Small, fragrant flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, followed by clusters of edible, dark purple-black grapes in late summer or early autumn. The Amur Grape thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for covering arbors, fences, or pergolas. It is prized for its ornamental foliage, adaptability, and utility in producing juice, wine, or preserves. Additionally, the vine provides habitat and food for wildlife, such as birds and pollinators.
Sowing Advice
Sow Vitis amurensis seeds in autumn or stratify them before spring sowing. To stratify, soak seeds in water for 24 hours, then place them in damp sand or peat moss and refrigerate for 60–90 days. Sow seeds 1 cm (0.5 inch) deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination may take several weeks to months.
