Notes
'Chinook' common hop (Humulus lupulus 'Chinook') is a vine for privacy screens, specimens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy soil. It climbs fast and can reach 10 to 20 feet tall. It sits low on the menu for deer. The fragrant green blooms attract butterflies, and a sturdy support helps the vine climb.
Pairs well with Clematis, Big bluestem, and Swamp milkweed.
