The golden hop is a fast growing deciduous climber that will rapidly cover trellis or pergolla with its impressive golden foliage. It is ideal for growing up trellis or over an arch where it contrasts well with darker foliage and flowering plants.

Cultivation tips: It will also tend to swamp out less vigorous plants if it is not kept in check and will flourish in most garden soils as long as they are not to wet. PIt will tolerate partial shade but a sunny place will produce the best leaf colour so long as the soil does not dry out Propagation Propagate by softwood cuttings or semi-hardwood cuttingsrotect the root crown from the sun and cut back hard and mulch in winter.
