Cascade Hops is an aromatic vining plant named after the Cascade Mountain range. These herbaceous perennials produce green cones used to flavor beer. This hop variety is often used for brewing ales, pale ales, and IPAs. The cone’s aroma is spicy with hints of citrus. The reaching vines can grow 25 feet tall and feature dark foliage with serrated edges. Harvest the cones in late summer when they appear dry and have a papery texture. Mature vines can produce up to 2 pounds of dried flowers.
Cascade Hops Care
Plant Cascade hops in the spring after there is no longer a threat of frost. Cascade hop plants need full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 3 feet apart and provide a trellis so each plant can grow vertically. Fungus and mildew are common problems, so space plants far enough apart to allow air to circulate around the leaves, and water the ground around the plant, keeping the foliage as dry as possible.
Growing Cascade Hops
Hops do not bloom the first year but expect flowers and a harvest starting in the second year. Established plants need 120 frost-free days to set buds. Hops are vining plants, and a tall trellis or support is vital for these plants to grow and thrive. Cascade hops can reach 25 feet tall, so give the plants appropriate support.
Cascade hops can grow in containers. Select a 12-inch wide pot with drainage holes, and provide a trellis or support for the vine.
Watering Cascade Hops
Mature Cascade Hops plants need 2 to 3 gallons of water every 2 to 3 days. Plants grown in warm climates or experiencing a dry spell may need water more often.
Feeding Cascade Hops
Fertilize cascade hops in late spring or early summer. Use a plant food with low phosphorous levels to support growth.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
