🍺 Beer Hops Seeds (Humulus lupulus) Exotic
💰 Price: Package of 10 seeds
Humulus lupulus, commonly known as hops, is a remarkable and versatile plant with a rich history of both culinary and medicinal uses. Widely known as a key ingredient in beer production, hops impart a distinctive bitterness, aroma, and preservative quality to beer. The female flowering heads of the plant are covered in yellow, powdery lupulin glands, which are highly aromatic and contain compounds such as humulone and lupulone. These substances provide antibacterial properties and contribute to the sedative and calming effects that have made hops valued in herbal medicine for centuries.
Beyond their traditional use in brewing, hops have been utilized by Native Americans as a tonic, mild sedative, and even as an aphrodisiac. Hop flowers could be infused, smoked, or applied externally to treat minor skin ailments like boils, ulcers, and swellings. The plant’s multifaceted benefits make it a valuable addition not only to home gardens but also to natural health remedies and ornamental landscaping.
Hops are a climbing plant technically classified as a bine rather than a vine, because they use their stems to wrap around supports rather than twining with tendrils. This characteristic makes them ideal for trellises, arbors, and other vertical garden structures. Hops are hardy in USDA zones 4–9, tolerate a wide range of soils, and grow vigorously each spring from cold-hardy rhizomes. With proper care, they can produce abundant flowering heads year after year.
