'Newport' Beer Hops Vine - Humulus - Grow your own Beer! - 4" Pot
They are the newest "to the market" hop variety that I have encountered. They were released in 2002 and they were originally bred and tested in 1996. Mild aroma. Fairly pungent, resiny flavor. Mildew resistant.No other vine is faster growing or more effective as an ornamental screen. Plants can grow up to 20 feet in one year when grown in a sunny location and are easily trained on a fence of trellis. Each year they die back to the crown in winter. In late summer the vines bear cone-like flowers that have a fresh, pine-like fragrance. The flowers are used in beer-making. Dark green, deeply lobed foliage is very attractive.
