Vitis coignetiae
Vitis coignetiae, commonly known as the Crimson Glory Vine, is a species of flowering plant in the grape family Vitaceae. Native to the temperate regions of East Asia, including Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East, it is a deciduous climbing vine, known for its brilliant autumn foliage.
Description[edit | edit source]
Vitis coignetiae is a large, vigorous deciduous climber that can reach up to 15 meters in height. The leaves are heart-shaped, 15-30 cm long and wide, and turn a brilliant red in autumn. The flowers are small, greenish-white, and are followed by small, inedible black grapes.
Cultivation and uses[edit | edit source]
Vitis coignetiae is grown as an ornamental plant for its bold foliage and autumn color. It is hardy and can grow in a variety of soils, but prefers a sunny, sheltered position. It is also used as a rootstock for grafting other grape varieties.
Taxonomy[edit | edit source]
The species was first described by the French botanist Jules Émile Planchon in 1887. The specific epithet coignetiae honors the French botanist Coignet.
