Vitis coignetiae 'Claret Cloak'

A stunning medium sized to large climber once established which has vivid shades of orange, red and yellow autumn colour before falling in late October. These large leaves have a purple tint when they emerge in Spring, gradually turning dark green later on in summer.

Superb for rambling through an old tree or over an old building or climbing.

Also ideal for growing up wires or trellis against a wall or fence!
