The plants produce fragrant flowers from July through August, followed by seed ripening in early fall from September to October.

Male hop plants can be recognized by their drooping, branched clusters of small, simple flowers with five sepals and short stamens, resembling catkins. In contrast, female plants develop the familiar cone-shaped flowers that are harvested as hops.
