It is a vigorous vine, capable of growing up to 20 feet or more, with lush green foliage that forms dense canopies.

It requires full sun exposure to ensure the healthiest growth and most abundant fruit production. It grows best in well-drained, sandy to loamy soils that are slightly acidic to neutral. Regular watering during the growing season and annual pruning are crucial for maintaining the vine's health and enhancing its fruit yield.
 
Fruit Characteristics: The grapes of the Flame Seedless variety are medium-sized and round, with a vibrant red skin that encloses a juicy, seedless interior. They have a sweet flavor with a mild tanginess that makes them excellent for fresh eating. The grapes grow in medium to large clusters that ripen in mid-summer to early fall, depending on the climate.
 
Harvest and Use: Flame Seedless grapes are typically ready for harvest in late summer. They are ideal for eating fresh or can be used in a variety of culinary applications, including fruit salads, desserts, and fresh juices. Their sweetness and seedless nature also make them perfect for snacking or adding to cheese boards.
