Vitis coignetiae (Crimson Glory Vine)

Vitis coignetiae Suddenly, an old and rather tatty Japanese Larch, Larix kaempferi in our gardens has been transformed into a rainbow of rich orange, red and yellow autumn colours by our Vitis coignetiae. This vigorous, very hardy, twining climber is one of the most reliable of climbing woody plants for sensational displays of glowing autumn colours. It is equally at home trained over a large trellis or arbour, in sun or even in partial shade. Large leaves somewhat similar (although slightly smaller) to those of our Paulownia tomentosa Vitis coignetiae Along with several other vines such as Vitis coignetiae 'Claret Cloak' , Vitis 'Spetchley Red' and Vitis vinifera 'Purpurea' , we've planted our glory Vine next to an indifferent old tree which it has now grown through filling it with enormous leaves throughout summer which in autumn always turn to the most brilliant shades of scarlet.

The Japanese Apricot is perfectly hardy and is happy on a range of soils from sandy situations to heavier clay soils. It will tolerate light shade but tends to flower best in a a position with plenty of sun. In some parts of the country, this plant can suffer from peach leaf curl which is a fungal disease that causes some deformation of the leaves. This can be treated by spraying with a systemic fungicide in autumn just before leaf fall and twice, two weeks apart, in late January and early February. We suggest
