Black Muscadine

Black Muscadine Grape

There’s nothing quite like the taste of a sun-warmed muscadine straight off the vine — thick-skinned, intensely sweet, and bursting with that unmistakable Southern flavor. The Black Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) is a vigorous, heat-loving native grape that thrives where other varieties struggle, making it the go-to choice for gardeners across the South and Southeast.

Deep purple-black when ripe, these large, round grapes are perfect for fresh eating, jams, jellies, juice, and homemade wine. The vine itself is a powerhouse — fast-growing, disease-resistant, and long-lived, with glossy dark green foliage that provides excellent shade on a trellis or arbor.
