Haven't tried the golden hop but I do grow the 'ordinary' one.

I started mine in a pot, then moved on to a bucket. It was The Most Miserable Plant.

So, wot the 'eck - in the middle of a drought I put it into stony,clay soil and watered it sometimes. On the eastern side of the house.

It muttered for about a year, then took off. Each year I haul out the adventurers from under the verandah, gather the hops, and chop it back for winter.

After all that rambling, in my experience, they're not much in pots. They prefer to be planted and in a spot that is not sunbaked. South or east side and watered over summer to keep the spider mites at bay. They don't mind the rinsing water from the washing machine if you're on tight rations. Reasonable soil, preferably not sandy unless it has plenty of humus for the Humulus. (Forgive...) If they get good air movement they don't seem to be troubled with mould.

Humulus lupulus 'Aureus'is definitely not a pot plant. A plant that grows easily up to 6meter in one season cannot be a plant that is happy in a pot.
Mine is 5 years old, planted against an east wall of a stable, and now it covers a large part of the north and south side as well. It dies down completely in winter and grows back again from early spring. It flowers abundantly in august and I find seedlings everywhere.
Be sure you have enough space for this plant. I gave one to a friend who said she had, but she already had to take it out after two years because it overgrew everything.
It is a beautifull plant with its bright yellow leaves and hop flowers. If you have the space: plant it.
