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.
Humulus lupulus ‘Golden Tassels’ is a dwarf, female variety with light green, scented hops and lovely golden-green foliage. 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. Its smaller size makes it ideal for growing in restricted growing spaces.
Grow Humulus lupulus ‘Golden Tassels’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Cut back foliage hard every spring to promote fresh new growth.
