5 Seeds Muscadine Grape Vitis rotundifolia
Muscadine grape is a vigorous perennial vine native to the southeastern United States, valued for its large, sweet, thick-skinned fruit and its adaptability to warm, humid climates. It is a long-lived, ornamental edible vine that can be trained over arbors, trellises, and fences, offering lush foliage and a generous seasonal harvest.
Muscadine grapes are enjoyed fresh and are commonly used in jellies, juices, wines, and preserves, while the vines double as attractive landscape features with their dense green canopy and peeling bark. Plants are dioecious or self-fertile depending on variety, and vines generally require a trellis or support and consistent warmth to thrive.
