Hop Rhizomes: Cascade, Chinook, Glacier, Crystal, Comet, Mt. Rainier, Columbus, California Cluster, Brewers Gold, Nugget, Willamette & more

One rhizome per price. Shipping cost is $3.50 for the 1st rhizome & 50 cents for each additional rhizome. Do not order & expect to keep in the refrigerator for months before planting. Rhizomes will mold & start to die. We sell rhizomes all year around so just order when you are ready to plant. It takes us a week to dig up rhizomes & ship them after they are ordered. Freshness really matters. No orders to Washington state due to it's quarantine regulations.

We are a small California hopyard that started in 2010 - (Hip Hops Inc.). We were certified organic for the first 4 years (C.C.O.F.). We still use most of the same organic fertilizers. No pesticides or fungicides are ever used. We now sell rhizomes & plants to the general public. All the irrigation water I use is reclaimed water from well water used for other crops. We dig up the plants fresh from the field as they sell all year. We ship with USPS First Class mail so they are in transit 3-5 days. Put the rhizomes in the refrigerator as soon as you get them and do not store them for more than a month. Most all U.S. varieties do well in the heat. A few U.S. varieties do not like the extreme heat (95 + degrees), like Centennial & Willamette. They may grow but flower very little or not at all in the high heat. Most European varieties will struggle a bit in high heat (95 +) and will produce low amounts of flowers or may not flower at all in super high heat (100 +). If your winters never get below 25 degrees then you can really plant any time. If you do not get much rain during winter then you will still need to occasionally water. If you live in a cold weather winter area then you should plant at least 1 or 2 weeks before the cold comes (60 degrees and below), then they will survive the winter. Most areas do not have a winters to low in order to survive once establish for a year. They are winter hardy up to negative 20 degrees. If your winters are not extreme and you get less than 10 days of below freezing temps. then you can plant all year around. The rhizomes will stay dormant until the highs get to about 60 degrees then they will sprout and emerge. They do best with at least some below freezing temps. which triggers the full life cycle & more growth/flowers but they will still grow and flower if your area does not get to freezing. Keep these rhizomes in the refrigerator as soon as you get them. Plant then within a month of getting them and you will see good viable growth. I find the best luck w/ planting rhizomes if you put them 1/2 inch. to 1 inch. below the surface (no deeper than 1 inch.). Plant the rhizome horizontally in the dirt for best results. Water them often for the 1st month. Do not let the topsoil get dry. If you are starting rhizomes in high heat areas & times (like 100 degrees for example), you will probably need to water every day at first. If you are in an area that gets good rain & warm temps. (75-90 degrees) at the same time, you will need to look out for 3 main mildew/mold issues: Downey Mildew (serious), Powdery Mildew, & Vericillium Wilt. If you do not have enough warm temps. & summer left to plant in the ground, one can plant them in a pot and grow indoors during the winter. The root base will be large when the spring arrives and you can plant them in the ground with a good size and a head start. In warm areas you will get some flowers the 1st year this way. Do not grow hops in a pot/container as a permanent location. The roots grow very large and will most likely out grow your container very quickly. Do not try and store the roots in the refrig. for too long. After 3 months you will only get about 15% of them that are still viable and sprout. Fresh is best. We sell all year around. Plant outside when daytime highs get to low 60s and above. Website: www.hiphopsinc.com
