description for "Perennials: Humulus lupulus 'Aureus'"
Be prepared to witness amazing growth and color. European Golden Hop is an extremely vigorous growing vine. With heights up to 15 feet in one season alone! Besides its amazing growth habit, its golden yellow foliage will also catch your attention. Towards the end of the season, it will produce green pine coned shaped blooms. These are actually the hops used as a flavoring in beer. Cut this vigorous vine down to the ground in winter and wait for it to explode with color and growth next season. Hardy to zones 4-8.
