There is a hop plant with gold leaves that is sold as an ornamental vine.

Once it gets to 15-20 ft it usually starts sending out more lateral branches. Ive seen people grow them on all kinds of things with success.. from 8ft fences to a 25ft rope from the roof of a house to the ground.LisaJenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172030894973198480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734023406237725245.post-76242694884074346392011-03-19T10:17:37.549-04:002011-03-19T10:17:37.549-04:00How large will a newly-planted hop plant grow?
