Vitis labrusca x vinifera 'Vanessa' Prohibited to OR, ID and NY. A new, early-mid ripening, red, seedless grape with a sweet, fruity flavor. From Ontario Canada, and one of the hardiest of the red cultivars. Crunchy, non-slipskin texture and excellent fruit quality is what Vanessa brings to the table. Compact clusters of medium-size, oblong berries. Hardy to minus 20 degrees F. Grows in USDA Zone 5-9. Ripens in Oct. A grapevine can be both a highly productive source of fruit and a focal point of considerable beauty. Think carefully about where to plant one to provide shade, cover a wall or accentuate an arch. We offer grapes most of which will ripen even in areas with cool summers. The ripening dates listed are for the cooler parts of Western Washington, but most ripen sooner and thrive where summers are warmer. Click here to read our Grape Growing Guide
