Notes
'Edelweiss' grape (Vitis 'Edelweiss') is a fruit for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is a tall vine that can reach about 20 feet, so give it a sturdy support. Bees and birds visit it, and it blooms in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Bartlett pear, Honeoye strawberry, and Oregano.
