Grape 'Phoenix' is a fantastic, modern white grape variety specifically bred to thrive and produce heavy yields in the UK climate. This hardy, disease-resistant climber is incredibly reliable for home gardeners. By late summer, it produces large clusters of sweet, golden-green grapes that are perfect for eating fresh straight from the vine or making wine.
To get the best harvest, plant this vigorous vine in a sunny, south or west-facing position with well-draining soil. Provide a sturdy trellis or wire support for it to climb. Water deeply during the first year to establish roots, and prune firmly in mid-winter while the wood is dormant to keep growth manageable and encourage bumper crops.

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.

Instructions
Top Tip
For the best possible harvest, strictly prune your Grape 'Phoenix' every winter while the woody framework is completely dormant. Trimming back the old wood focuses the vine's energy into producing large, juicy clusters of sweet grapes instead of an overgrown tangle of leaves.
How to Water
While your Grape 'Phoenix' is establishing its deep roots during the first year, water it deeply and regularly throughout any dry spells. Once fully settled, this resilient vine becomes incredibly drought-tolerant and will only need extra hydration during severe summer heatwaves.
How to Plant
Plant your Grape 'Phoenix' in a sunny, south or west-facing spot with well-draining soil to guarantee maximum fruit ripening. Make sure to provide a sturdy trellis, wall, or wire support system for its vigorous climbing vines to grab onto.
