Why Choose Vitis coignetiae for Your Garden?
If you're looking for a fast-growing, foliage-focused climber, Vitis coignetiae is one of the most striking choices available. Its large, lush leaves create a tropical, dramatic effect throughout summer, and in autumn, it steals the spotlight with spectacular colour transitions rarely matched by other plants.
Benefits of Crimson Glory Vine:
Outstanding autumn colour – deep red, orange, and purple hues
Large, bold leaves – up to 25cm across, ideal for creating leafy backdrops
Vigorous and fast-growing – excellent for covering large structures
Low maintenance – minimal pest issues, easy to grow
Perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens – flowers attract pollinators
Best Uses in the Garden
Vitis coignetiae is ideal for:
Climbing over arbours, pergolas, and garden structures
Creating natural privacy screens on fences or walls
Softening large buildings or outbuildings with bold foliage
Providing a seasonal focal point, especially in autumn
Enhancing woodland-style or informal planting schemes
Due to its size and vigour, it’s best suited to larger gardens or open spaces, where it has room to climb and spread.

Growing Tips
Position & Soil
Plant in full sun for the best autumn colour, though it will also thrive in partial shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to a wide range of soil types including clay, loam, or sandy soils.
Support & Growth
Provide a strong support system such as heavy-duty trellis, wires, or a pergola. This is a vigorous climber that needs space and structure to flourish.
Watering & Feeding
Water regularly in the first season after planting to help it establish. Once mature, it's fairly drought-tolerant. Mulch annually and feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser for healthy growth.
Pruning
Prune in winter to remove any dead or overcrowded stems. You can also trim during the growing season to maintain shape or restrict its spread.
