HOP PLANTS

We sell fully-rooted one year old hop plants which are different from a hop rhizome. Our hop plants are grown the previous season and available for shipping starting in SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER each year. 

 Be the first to know when plants are available for pre-order and when new varieties are released.  Subscribe to our NEWSLETTER 

In the event that we sell out of one year old plants we can offer plants propagated in  the current season that will grow just fine but are a little trickier to put into their permanent growing position. If you have had any gardening experience then these plants should be easy to transplant.
