Healthy vines can produce 1-21/2 pounds of dried flowers per plant. Planting: Once the site has been established and the soil fertilized, planting can begin.he hop produces annual vines from a permanent root stock known as the crown. Vines can grow 25 ft high in a single season but will die to the crown each fall. The crown also produces the underground stem or rhizome. The root-like rhizomes sprout numerous buds, which are the key to propagation.
