A tough yet attractive vine, hardy and vigorous to a fault; produces small fruit which though edible are less than palatable; excellent for covering arbors or trellises, trailing walls or fences; needs regular pruning to keep in bounds, full sun.
Riverbank Grape has green foliage throughout the season. The lobed leaves turn yellow in fall. The flowers are not ornamentally significant. It produces small clusters of purple grapes with black overtones in early fall.
