Key Points
Description:
Fruit Characteristics: The grapevine produces large, dark red/purple berries that are juicy, sweet, and flavorful, suitable for both eating fresh and making wine.
Ripening Time: The fruit typically ripens late, around October, which might make it susceptible to damage from early frosts.
Growing Ease: Known for its reliability, strong growth habit, and suitability for beginners due to its relatively easy cultivation.
Historical Significance:
Origin: Originally from Germany.
Great Vine at Hampton Court Palace: Planted by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1768 at Hampton Court Palace. The Great Vine is now over 36 meters long and continues to yield an impressive annual crop of grapes, often around 600-700 bunches.
Growing Tips for Indoor Cultivation:
Best Environment: Ideally grown indoors in an unheated greenhouse.
Winter Care: Place potted vines outdoors during winter to expose them to sufficient cold temperatures.
Watering: Maintain frequent watering during the growing season.
Fertilization: Feed the vine with high-potash liquid fertilizer once growth begins.
Pollination: Dry atmospheres are beneficial for pollination. You can aid pollination by gently shaking the branches.
Additional Considerations:
Climate: While it can ripen in a cold greenhouse, providing additional heat in cooler areas may aid in better fruit development.
Frost Protection: Be cautious of early frosts, as they can potentially damage the late-ripening fruit.
By following these growing tips and considering the historical significance and characteristics of the Vitis vinifera 'Black Hamburgh,' you can cultivate a successful and fruitful grapevine.

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution

Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
We have five collections a day, so orders can leave throughout the day as soon as they’re ready.
During busy times, if we experience any delays, we’ll post updates on our social media and website to give everyone a heads up. This helps keep customers informed if there’s likely to be a delay of a few days.
