Great Lakes Hops is a great place to start. I just got three plants from them and all three were very healthy and happy. After four days in the ground on already seeing growth.

Definitely use Great Lakes Hops. I've yet to hear of an unhappy customer.

Well heck. If you can do it in Key West, then Miami Beach should be no different! I like the idea of trying out a combination of Chinook and Cascades in my ale recipe.

The guy I got my Cascade crown from lived in Miami. So you shouldn't have a problem pulling it off.

I just planted the Columbus crown I ordered as well as the free Hallertau crown she threw in. I'll post some pictures later.

So now we have Hallerau and Columbus in Orlando, Cascade in Key West and Centennial, Willamette, Galena, Magnum and Fuggles growing around Tampa. Between all of us we should be able to figure out what grows in Florida. I'm sure I've missed some, we should try and compile a list of who is growing what to documents our experiences with different types.

I have Chinook coming from Great Lakes this week, and a buddy of mine in our LHBC has already had three seasons of Cascades under his belt. I'm going to risk a late frost up here in Jax and plant them as soon as they arrive.

You'll probably be fine, but at the same time you don't necessarily have to risk it. This past season I didn't get planted until the start of March. The seasons long enough and they grow fast enough you don't have to worry about rushing it into the ground. Keep us posted.
