Pollination Info
Centennial Hops Plant Pollination
Centennial Hops Plants are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Centennial Hops Plant will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Despite their large size, Hops grow well in containers if provided with a sturdy trellis, abundant water, and ample supplemental nutrients.
Grown in-ground or in a container, Centennial Hops Plants loves full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily).
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your shipped container, use organic soil, and place your plant with support, like stakes or a trellis.
In the ground, dig a hole that's about twice the size of your plant's rootball, place your plant, and backfill the soil. Add stakes or a trellis for support.
2. Watering: Hops love water but only when applied directly to the root system. Water your plants daily directly at their bases in order to keep the soil moist but not over-saturated. In the event of rain, gently shake the excess moisture off of your plant's leaves.
3. Fertilizing: Hops love fertilizer. Provide your container-grown Hops with a liquid fertilizer diluted to quarter-strength. Start out feeding them with fertilizer that's high in nitrogen. Then when the first signs of hop cones form, move away from nitrogen-rich fertilizer and use fertilizers that are rich in phosphorus and potassium.
4. Pruning: When pruning, be sure your trimming tool has been sterilized for healthy and clean cuts. Prune vines once they begin to outgrow their trellis. Remove foliage from under one foot of growth on the vine.
5. Harvesting: Harvesting usually begins in the middle of August and continues until the middle of September. Test the cones in order to be sure that it's time to harvest. To determine the readiness for picking, judge the cones by touch and smell. If the cone is too green, feels damp and soft to the touch on its scales, then it may not be ready. A cone ready for harvest will feel papery and light.

United StatesAll stars !
What a great company, shipping was slow due to CV19 and totally understandable. The plants arrived healthy and ready to be in their new home. Just looking at them today showed they were very happy with life in NC and growing a great rate. Looking forward to next year when we can have a good harvest of hops! Would buy agin with no hesitation !!
No sign of life
Well it's been three weeks and no signs of life. Maybe it's dormant, but I'm not a pro. Just wanted to plant the thing and grow hops! Too bad so sad. Will continue to water and hope for the best.

The hops plants are likely still dormant which is perfectly normal this time of year. We recommend giving them a few more weeks to leaf back out and reach out to us if you're still not seeing any growth and we'll be happy to help!
