The Vitis vinifera ‘Schuyler’ grape is a cold-hardy hybrid developed in 1947 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. It was created by crossing the red Vitis vinifera Zinfandel with the hybrid Ontario (Vitis labrusca × V. vinifera) to produce a vine suitable for short-season and cold-climate regions. ‘Schuyler’ is prized for its large, juicy, blue-black berries that have a clean, vinifera-like flavour without the “foxy” taste typical of labrusca grapes. It is suitable for fresh eating, juicing, or winemaking.
The vine is vigorous and moderately productive, performing best when trained on a trellis, pergola, or south-facing wall. It prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, and benefits from regular pruning to maintain a strong framework and optimise fruiting. Its early ripening — roughly 3 to 4 weeks before Concord — makes it ideal for cooler UK sites with shorter growing seasons. With its excellent cold tolerance, ‘Schuyler’ can survive harsh winters down to -29°C (-20°F), making it one of the hardiest hybrid grapes available.
‘Schuyler’ offers both ornamental and productive value. Its dense foliage and attractive grape clusters enhance garden aesthetics while providing a reliable harvest of sweet, versatile fruit. Its resilience, disease resistance, and early ripening make it a practical choice for UK gardeners seeking a dependable 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

We start processing orders each morning at 8am.

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.
