Grape Vitis Attiki Black Grapevine Plant – 3 Litre

Grow your own delicious, seedless black grapes at home with this Vitis vinifera 'Attiki' grapevine. Attiki is a popular seedless grape variety originating from Greece, prized for its sweet, dark-skinned fruits that ripen reliably in the UK climate. This vigorous deciduous climber is self-fertile, meaning only one plant is needed to produce a generous crop. Ideal for training along south-facing walls, fences, pergolas, or growing in a large patio container.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, this grapevine is garden ready and suitable for planting outdoors in a warm, sheltered spot. With proper pruning and care, Attiki will reward you with bunches of juicy, dark purple-black grapes from late summer into early autumn — perfect for fresh eating straight from the vine.

Rhubarb Timperley Early – Hardy Perennial Fruit Plant

Rhubarb 'Timperley Early' is one of the earliest cropping rhubarb varieties available, producing a generous harvest of thick, tender stalks from as early as March. Renowned for its reliability and vigour, Timperley Early is an ideal choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. The long, rosy-pink stems have a wonderfully tangy flavour, perfect for pies, crumbles, jams, and compotes.

As a hardy perennial, this rhubarb plant will return year after year with minimal fuss. It thrives in garden beds, raised beds, allotments, and even large containers on a patio or balcony — making it a versatile addition to any growing space. Timperley Early is also well suited to forcing, allowing you to enjoy an even earlier crop when covered with a forcing pot in late winter.

This plant is supplied as a well-established specimen in a 2Ltr pot, ready to plant out in the garden or pot on into a larger container.

Planting and Care

Plant your rhubarb in spring or autumn in a sunny to partially shaded position with moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly during the growing season and apply a generous mulch around the crown to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid harvesting any stalks in the first year to allow the plant to establish a strong root system. From the second year onward, pull stalks from the base when they are firm and brightly coloured. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser in early spring and promptly remove any flower stems that appear to direct the plant's energy back into stalk production. Rhubarb leaves are not edible and should be composted or discarded.
