Description

The listing, Rainbow Grape "Surprise" *8 seeds* has ended.

RAINBOW GRAPES: They don’t reeeally exist. The “rainbow” color is a process some grapes go through as they ripen. I got these seeds on a whim, to see what they really turn out to be. I like all grapes, so I figured that if I got grape seeds, they would eventually grow grapes! Feeling adventures? Here’s your shot! The grapes pictured, are what I THINK I got...they are called, Gewurztraminer (both pictures), I believe they are from Germany.

GROWING GRAPES (easy)
1. Plant the seeds in a small pot just under the top layer of soil. Place the pot inside a plastic bag. Alternatively, the seeds can be placed directly inside the bag, but this requires transferring them to a pot later.
2. Refrigerate the grape seeds for 30 to 90 days. Grape seeds require a period of a cold at temperatures below 40 degrees in order to end their dormancy. If you have a cold, dark areas outdoors that is free of wind and rain, you can store your seeds outside during the winter. Do not allow your seeds to freeze.
3. Remove the seeds from the refrigerator and allow them to warm inside your home. Keep the seeds inside the plastic bag used to store them in the refrigerator. Seeds should not be placed outdoors in direct sunlight, as too much heat and light will cause the seeds to die.
4. Remove the seeds from the plastic bag once they begin to germinate, typically after 30 days of warmer temperatures. The seeds should be placed on a windowsill or in a sunny, dry location outdoors. The soil inside your pot should be kept moist, but be careful not to cover water.
5. Transplant your seedlings into separate pots once they have grown to be about 8 cm tall. Place the seedlings in a sheltered, shady area away from rain and wind for 10 to 14 days.
6. Move your seedlings to a permanent location in direct sun. Plants should be spaced 96 inches apart.

No, GMO NEVER happens here. No herbicides, pesticides...we are totally organic (not "certified") and use these plants ourselves.

This variety is very unique. It ripens unevenly creating the rainbow effect. Harvesting can be singlely as they ripen for fresh eating. You can harvest for jelly when 75% to 80% are ripe cause the less ripe grapes will provide a natural pectin for the jelly. If wine is desired then all grapes must be ripened the ones that start first will get a bit over ripe and have the most sugar count required for wine making.
