Product details

Grow your own Sterling hops!

These Sterling Rhizomes are root cuttings of the hop bine; to be planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sun and room to climb, then harvest and dry the flower cones in late summer for your brewing pleasure!

Sterling hops have a unique spicy flavor that is reminiscent of both Saaz and Hallertau. 

Important Notes:

  • Rhizomes will ship directly from the supplier as soon as they are available (typically mid-April.)
  • The minimum order is two (2) rhizomes. Since these are live root stock, we cannot guarantee they will grow so ordering two of each variety desired is optimal to provide the greatest chances of success.
  • Rhizomes will be shipped through the US Postal Service. Please provide a USPS-deliverable address with these orders. If you have a PO Box address and wish to order rhizomes, please include ONLY rhizomes on that order. Rhizomes are not available for international shipping.
  • Due to local restrictions, we cannot ship rhizomes to HI, AK, WA, or ID.
  • Due to government restrictions, we cannot ship rhizomes internationally.

Sterling and Cascade Rhizome Review

I ordered 3 of each Sterling and Cascade rhizomes; 1 of each to survived. Based on the way the rhizomes looked when they arrived, the survival rate was about what I expected. The two plants that are coming up look nice, I just wish it was 6 instead of 2. That's the only reason for the 3 star review...I'll plan to order more, and earlier, next year and hope for better results.

I got my big healthy looking roots and put them in the ground. My hop plants from last year are beginning to emerge so I am encouraged. These rhizomes were fairly large and health looking so many thanks.
