You can try home brew supply shops, wine making shops... I compiled a list of online resources to order hop rhizomes.

I would check with a Washington Ag group or University for specifics of your area and soil. I would suspect they would do well but I am unfamiliar with the local climate and amount of sunshine there. I am a hobby grower so I do not have experience of growing hops as a cash crop. It will take 2 to 3 years to become fully established and productive. Check it out and best of luck on your possible new venture!

The common culprits are: spider mites - look for webs on the bottom side of the leaves aphids - look for little green bugs lady bugs and asian beetles various larval stage moths and butterflies - generally not present later in the season. grass hoppers / locusts Take a close look at the hop bines and leaves and see if any of the above (possibly other critters too). It is usually not a problem unless they move into the hop cones. Have you observed any insects on the leaves, especially on the undersides? The common culprits are:

I don't think plants or rhizomes would fair well planted now as this is close to when they go dormant - perhaps if you found a source south of the equator (Australia)? There may be laws against it - I have not researched it myself. I would prepare the ground (if you are not going to container grow them). Get your game plan together for next spring's hop growing season. I am not aware of anyone that sells hop rhizomes or plants off season.

The leaves end up lacey from all the holes. Any ideas on what it might be and how to treat it. My hop plants are being eaten by something. The leaves end up lacey from all the holes.

Hops will grow up to 40 feet in a season if they have room. Otherwise they will grow to the top of whatever they are climbing and stop shortly after and/or start going sideways (if there is something to wrap around) or back down a bit. As far as shade, you can cover arbors, pergolas, gazebos, trellises, fences, decks or run ropes from the ground to an anchor point up high and build a beautiful and fragrant privacy wall. Hops can be used for an herbal tea that is great for relaxing. You can also make hop pillows that will allow you to relax and drift off into a sound sleep easily. They are a beautiful and wondrous plant to watch grow and just to stare at (ok, I may be partial to hop plants). Hops are easy to grow, to grow hops just start with a few hop rhizomes buried a couple inches in the ground in the spring and once established, the hop plants will give you years of enjoyment.
