FamilyCannabaceae
Humulus lupulus, commonly known as hops, is a vigorous perennial climbing plant widely cultivated for its aromatic cones used in brewing, but also appreciated as an ornamental and utilitarian plant. This species develops long twining stems capable of quickly covering vertical structures such as pergolas, trellises, or fences, creating a dense and decorative green screen. Its bright green, deciduous foliage, which is dissected and textured, provides a strong visual impact during the growing season. The female flowers produce very aromatic green cones rich in lupulin, prized for their bittering and preservative properties. Well adapted to the Quebec climate, this hardy plant prefers rich, well-drained soils and a sunny exposure. Humulus lupulus is an excellent choice for edible gardens, craft brewing projects, and vertical landscaping.
