Hops Seeds - Green

Green hops seeds produce vigorous, perennial climbing plants known for their rapid vertical growth and twining habit. Plants develop long bines that require sturdy support such as trellises, poles, or fences. Hops are well suited to temperate climates with distinct seasons and perform best where summers are warm and winters are cool. They are commonly planted in gardens, landscapes, and small-scale agricultural settings and adapt well to fertile, well-drained soils with consistent moisture.
