“I thought hops were a Northern cool weather crop. Can they be grown anywhere?”
They can grow most anywhere but some varieties do better in certain climates.
Good soil, good drainage and good watering is the key from everything that I have read.
This is my first year growing in the Sacramento/El Dorado Hills area and it is hot here and they are thriving.
They also can be grown as decorative vines and smell great.
Additionally they are perennial and come back every year and you can pull some roots out of mature plants and grow more and more and give to friends.
The roots can go crazy.
Neat. I guess they can be grown in a raised bed garden also? sounds interesting. How do I start?
Are they a vine and needing support?
