Hops

Humulus lupulus 'Nugget' on the hops trellis. It is sending out side branches from which the flowers will form. The rhizome came from Nichols Garden Nursery in Corvallis, Oregon. We also ordered Kent Golding rhizomes, and they're not performing as vigorously. They'll probably get moved to a new location once they go dormant. Hops is a thirsty plant and it gets lots of deep watering and likes a good, deep mulch.
