Florida-Bred Grape with Bold Flavor and Disease Resistance
‘Alachua’ Muscadine Grape (Vitis rotundifolia) is a top-performing black muscadine variety developed right here in Florida—selected for its incredible sweetness, deep purple-black color, and vigorous growth. This cultivar produces medium to large grapes with tender skins, making them great for fresh eating, juicing, jellies, or even small-batch winemaking.
Unlike other grape varieties, muscadines are native to the Southeast U.S. and are uniquely adapted to hot, humid climates. The ‘Alachua’ variety is self-fertile, meaning it produces fruit on its own, and is known for its exceptional disease resistance, especially to Pierce’s disease and powdery mildew.
The vines thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and grow rapidly on trellises, arbors, or fences. They produce reliably year after year and are incredibly low maintenance once established. Perfect for edible landscapes, wildlife gardens, and Southern food forests!

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.
Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
