First, the bad news. If you didn’t already order hop rhizomes this year, it’s probably too late to get them.
Hops grow from rhizomes, as do ginger, bamboo, tumeric, and some species of iris and ferns. A rhizome is a characteristically horizontal stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes.
The good news that hops are easy to grow and, if you are interested in growing them, you can start planning now for next year. We purchased several kinds of hops from a favorite company of ours, The Thyme Garden Herb Company, 6 or 8 years ago. We were pleased with their prices, their shipping costs, and their quality; our hops are healthy and prolific in addition to being a very cool plant.
