Grow your own hops! Hop rhizomes are available in the spring only. Please place your orders early to avoid missing out.
Plant from late March to early May. Rhizomes are a perennial vine that die back down to the ground completely in the fall. In early spring the dark green, sometimes purplish vines come back with increasing vigor each year. Hops require a trellis and will grow to 20 feet or more (though not usually in the first year planted). They do best in full sun and prefer well drained soil.
About Columbus: Dual purpose high alpha American hop. Specific aroma descriptors include earthiness, black pepper, licorice, spice (curry) and subtle citrus. The floral and citrus notes from the Columbus hop come out in both aroma and flavor, but can be pungent. This strong flavor and aroma make the Columbus hop great for late additions to a boil or dry-hopping.
