Common name
'Niagara' vine
Type
Fruit-bearing climbing plant
Family
Vitaceae

Vitis labrusca 'Niagara' is a vigorous fruit vine known for its large clusters of very aromatic and sweet pale green to golden yellow grapes. This variety develops a twining, climbing habit capable of effectively covering trellises, pergolas, and fences, forming a dense screen in summer. When trained on a support, it can reach a significant height, while without support it spreads widely. Its deciduous, bright green foliage offers good density and contributes to the ornamental effect of the landscaping. The clusters ripen in late summer, providing an abundant harvest ideal for fresh consumption, juices, and jellies. Adapted to well-drained soils and sunny exposures, Vitis 'Niagara' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a productive, hardy, and decorative vine in temperate climates.
