Notes
'Catawba' grape (Vitis 'Catawba') is a vine for low maintenance and xeriscape gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. Its greenish flowers are fragrant. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows tall and wide, so give it a strong support.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Blue grama, and Gladiolus.
