Our September Monrovia Pick

Monrovia’s collection of grape vines features three distinct varieties for home gardens, all of which were developed by breeding the European grape, Vitis vinifera, with a wild American native grape, V. labrusca.  The vines can grow up to twenty-five feet per year and are perfect for shade arbors, gateways and fence lines.  Grape vines also have great fall color!
