Humulus lupulus 'Nugget' (Hop Vine)

Humulus lupulus ‘Nugget’
Hop Vine

‘Nugget’ is a vigorous, fast-growing hop vine valued for both ornamental use and brewing. A popular bittering hop, it is known for its herbal aroma and was bred for good storage quality, helping the cones hold their acid content over time.

In the garden, ‘Nugget’ quickly climbs up to 20 feet in a season, creating lush green coverage on arbors, trellises, fences, or pergolas. Its dense foliage makes it a great choice when you want height, texture, or seasonal screening.

In summer, greenish-yellow, cone-like flowers develop along the vines. These aromatic hop cones have a distinctive beer-like scent and add both texture and interest to the plant.

This hardy vine grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, humus-rich soil. Once established, it is tough, vigorous, and easy to grow.
