Humulus lupulus is a fast-climbing perennial, bearing masses of large, yellow-green leaves from spring to autumn. The flowers borne on females can be used in dried flower displays – if left, they develop into hops.
It's ideal for covering an arch or pergola. Its hops can be used in brewing, dried flower arrangements or used to make 'hop pillows' to aid sleeping.
Grow Humulus lupulus in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Cut back foliage hard every spring to promote fresh new growth.
