General Information +

Botanical: Humulus lupulus

General Characteristics: Hops is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous vine with a twining and trailing habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage. This vigorous vine quickly reaches 20 feet tall and thrives on neglect. The greenish yellow, conelike flowers smell like beer. It can scramble along the ground or grow up screens and trellises. Attracts butterflies with fragrant flowers. Used as a ground cover and good on a trellis.

Planting/Care Instructions +

Soil: Any average to rich, well-draining

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the roots meet the stem) is about 1-2" below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly.
