Valiant Grape Vine (Vitis ‘Valiant’)

Valiant Grape Vine (Vitis ‘Valiant’) is an exceptionally cold-hardy fruiting grape developed for northern growing regions and is an excellent choice for Alberta and Prairie gardens. This vigorous perennial vine produces abundant clusters of small, deep blue to blue-black grapes with a rich, sweet-tart flavour. Its dependable production and impressive winter hardiness make it particularly valuable for home gardeners looking to grow grapes in challenging cold climates.

The flavourful grapes are especially well suited to homemade juice, jelly, preserves, sauces, and wine, and can also be enjoyed fresh when fully ripe. The vigorous vines produce lush green foliage throughout summer, quickly covering a sturdy trellis, arbor, pergola, or fence. As the fruit ripens in late summer to early fall, clusters of dark grapes create an attractive contrast against the foliage.

Valiant Grape Vine is also an excellent choice for edible landscaping. Its vigorous climbing habit can provide seasonal screening and shade while producing an abundant edible harvest. Once established, the vine returns reliably each spring and can become a long-lived feature of the home garden.
