Notes
'Aureus' common hop (Humulus lupulus 'Aureus') is a vine for privacy screens, accents, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or chalky soil. It climbs fast and has fragrant green blooms that butterflies visit. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a sturdy support to climb.
Pairs well with Rose, Indian grass, and Hairy aster.
