The award-winning Blanc du Bois grape is considered one of the best choices for winemaking. It's a hybrid variety: European grape combined with a native Florida grape. Blanc du Bois performs well in the Southern states due to its ability to hold up well in heat and humidity. Zones: 5-9.
This is an American hybrid grape that was created in 1968 by John A. Mortensen at the University of Florida by crossing various Vitis vinifera grape varieties such as Golden Muscat with native Florida varieties. When released in 1987, Blanc du Bois became another grape variety in the small but growing number of vine types that can both produce marketable wine on their own yet can withstand bacterial infection that destroys nearly all vinifera vinestocks imported into the southern United States.
Grown in coastal areas in the southeast United States (South Carolina to Texas) and north into the Texas Hill country. Adapted to alkaline and high salt soils.

It is such a beautiful plant that you'll want it just for how it looks growing on your trellis or fence! The finely cut green, Grape leaves make this an airy and romantic vine, like it's posing for a painter's still life. But, it is so much more than a pretty face!
These beautiful vines are prolific fruit bearers. You will get cluster after cluster of deep purple-black perfectly round Grapes. The Grapes are firm, not mushy, and they have a nice balance between tart and sweet. They are perfect for eating fresh-out-of-hand or for juice.
These are a Muscadine hybrid, having been crossed between several types of grapes. They are very hardy and are great Grapes for the Deep South and coastal areas because they don't require a high amount of chill time to set their fruit or achieve their sweet/sour balance. They were bred out of the University of Florida so you know they'll handle hot, sultry summers.
Southern Home Grape is self-pollinating, too, so you don't have to plant other types of Grapes with it to get a good crop every year.
