Hops Seeds - Light Green

Light Green hops seeds produce vigorous perennial climbing plants characterized by rapid vertical growth and twining bines. Plants require strong vertical support such as trellises, poles, or fences to grow properly. Hops are well adapted to temperate climates with warm summers and a period of winter dormancy. They are suitable for garden planting, landscape use, and small-scale cultivation, performing best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and full sun exposure.
