Hop is one of the fast-growing climbing plants. The plant is grown as an ornamental plant or as a crop, primarily for brewing beer. Due to its rapid growth, it is also a popular privacy screen in the garden.

Depending on the variety, hops grow between seven and eight meters high in one gardening season. Hops grown in tubs remain smaller because the roots cannot spread so much here.
On average, the hop tendrils grow by ten centimeters every day. In favorable conditions, growth can be as much as a meter a week.
In order for the hops to grow so quickly, they need a lot of nutrients. Also, most of the shoots need to be removed to allow the plant to send enough power into the remaining tendrils.

Balconies and pergolas can be perfectly planted with hops. The climbing plant is easy to care for and does not make many demands on the location.
