Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow outdoors in full sun, in well-drained, humus-rich soil, preferably neutral to slightly alkaline, mulch to keep soil moist, and provide support; for more advice, see outdoor grape cultivation

Pruning

Pruning is required to encourage flowering and fruiting, and to increase air circulation and so reduce the risk of disease: see grape pruning and training

Propagation

Propagate by hardwood cuttings in late autumn or winter, or by softwood cuttings or semi-ripe cuttings from late spring to midsummer

Pests

Generally pest-free outdoors, but may be affected by brown scale, woolly vine or currant scale and the fruit fly spotted wing drosophila

Diseases

May be affected by downy mildews, grey moulds, honey fungus, and virus diseases; 'Orion' has some resistance to powdery mildews; for more advice, see grapevine diseases
