Hello all, I'm a bit of gardener so I decided to buy some hop seeds

I have looked at some other threads on this forum but i decided to start a thread if anybody wanted to share their experiences with me it would greatly appreciated.
I have a small greenhouse but from what I've seen they will grow too big for it so I presume they will have to be transplanted outside.
*Are they hardy enough for the outdoors?
There is a dwarf variety that you can grow in a poly tunnel. :)

Don't buy seeds. They could grow up to be males which won't give you hops. And male hops are illegal to cultivate in ROI, though I doubt you'd actually get done for it.
WOW - Why are males Illegal to cultivate?
It would defo be easier if i could get a cutting from somebody or else buy a plant from somewhere, would a garden centre sell them?
fair enough ;)
I've put an ad in the "Wanted Section" to see if anyone can sort me out.
Cheers !!!!
I'll chillax till then so.
