The Niagara Grape (Vitis labrusca ‘Niagara’) is a hardy fruiting vine, known for its clusters of very sweet and aromatic pale green to golden yellow grapes. It is enjoyed both fresh and for juices and jellies.
Harvest usually takes place in September in Quebec. The fruits are juicy, with a flavor typical of American grapes.
It is a vigorous, climbing vine, requiring a trellis or pergola for good development. It performs best in full sun, in well-drained soil.
