Product description
Originating from Germany, Grape Bacchus is one of the best white wine varieties for growing outdoors in the UK. Named after Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, it is no surprise that this cultivar is grown in commercial vineyards up and down the country, producing delicious wines similar in taste to Sauvignon Blanc. However, the fruit can also be enjoyed fresh from the vine, with its sweet flavour and thin skin making it an excellent table grape.
Bacchus is a climbing plant that requires little maintenance and is easy to grow. It prefers a sunny, sheltered spot and thrives in well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Protect new growth from frost and mulch annually in spring to help retain moisture in the soil.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Prune grape vines in late winter to encourage healthy growth and improve fruit production.
How to Water
Water grapes regularly during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid root rot. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Reduce watering once the grapes start to ripen.
How to Plant
Plant grape vines in well-drained soil with full sun. Dig a hole large enough for the roots and space well apart. Place the plant in the hole, cover with soil, and firm it in. Water thoroughly to help establish roots.
