Vitis coignetiae, or Crimson Glory Vine, is a vigorous, ornamental grape species native to East Asia, prized for its enormous, heart-shaped leaves that turn brilliant reds and golds in autumn, making it excellent for covering walls, arbors, and trellises. It can grow extremely large, requiring ample space or assertive pruning.
