Description
Humulus lupulus 'Aurea' is a vigorous deciduous climber prized for its attractive golden foliage which adds a bright splash of colour to garden structures. It is well suited to training on trellises, fences or pergolas, providing seasonal interest and a natural screen. The plant is relatively low-maintenance once established and appreciates a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil.
This cultivar typically reaches a height between 2.5 to 3.5 metres with a spread of about 1 to 2 metres. The flowers are generally insignificant and not a main decorative feature. It is hardy to UK conditions and grows at a moderate rate, making it a practical choice for gardeners seeking an eye-catching climber with deciduous foliage.
