Humulus lupulus aureus

PROHIBITED TO OR & ID

Here comes the sun! The intense golden new growth of these sturdy vines holds its color well into the warmth of summer, when a bit more green begins to temper the yellow tones. Grown more as an ornamental accent than for the brewing of its flowers. Hops die back to the ground each winter and then explode with rampant upright growth each spring; mature Golden hop plants can grow over 30' in a single season! Young shoots may be used in salads or as an asparagus substitute. These fast-growing herbaceous vines quickly cover wires or a trellis to make an attractive screen, decorate an arch, or provide shade against a sunny wall. 

Space plants at least 8’ apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Less fussy about soil quality, moisture and ph than most brewing varieties of hops. Cold hardy to USDA zone 3.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Is the aureus variety definitely edible and should the shoots be harvested as they emerge from the ground or can they be taken from the ends of longer stems?

    They are edible yes, but it depends on what you're after. Hops is a cluster of vines, mostly grown for the "top" or blossom and either eaten or used in brewing. The stems can also be eaten, in which case you harvest it like asparagus while the blossoms are immature. Either way, you should wait at least 1 full year (allow it to grow, blossom, and die back for the winter) before cutting the plant or you may exhaust it's root system early. The first year tops can be harvested by hand without damage to the plant.

  • Can I still plant your hops plant at the end of July.

    You can plant whenever you like, but planting in hot temperatures requires a lot of extra irrigation while the plants establish.
