‘Chinook’ Common Hop (Humulus lupulus 'Chinook') - 1 gallon

If you want fast-growing vertical green coverage that doubles as a harvestable craft crop, 'Chinook' Common Hop (Humulus lupulus) is an absolute powerhouse for your yard. Spreading 3 to 6 feet wide and climbing an impressive 15 to 20 feet in a single season, this vigorous perennial vine creates lush shade and living privacy over arbors, pergolas, and fences faster than almost anything else you can plant. It demands full sun—at least six hours of direct daily heat—to power its rapid growth and produce a heavy crop of aromatic, pine-and-citrus-scented green cones from late summer into early fall. Whether you are crafting homebrewed IPAs or simply craving a cool, leafy canopy to shield your patio from the heat, Chinook delivers instant architectural impact.

What makes Chinook hops such a rewarding addition to local landscapes is their sheer grit once established. Their rough, prickly bines and bitter, aromatic foliage make them naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant, ensuring local critters will pass right by without stripping your screen bare. They thrive in rich, well-draining soil and build a deep, tough root system that handles summer heat with ease under regular deep watering. In late fall, after the top foliage dies back with the frost, simply prune the vines down near soil level, and watch them shoot skyward again with incredible energy every spring.
