Planting & Care

Enjoy the exceptional flavour of 'Fulton's Strawberry Surprise', officially rated the best-tasting rhubarb in RHS Wisley trials.
Not just delicious, this variety adds ornamental value to your garden with its eye-catching deep red stalks and attractive lobed leaves.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), a testament to its reliability and outstanding performance.
A resilient and easy-to-grow perennial, perfect for open ground, raised beds, or even large patio containers.
Harvest from late spring to early summer for delicious crumbles, jams, or simply stewed with cream.
Important: Only the stalks are edible. Rhubarb leaves are toxic to humans and pets but are safe to add to your compost heap.

Species: Rhubarb
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Any moist, well-drained soil
Hardiness: H5 - Hardy to -15°C
Habit: Forms a bushy clump of stalks and attractive lobed foliage
Spread: 60-100cm
Features: Deer resistant
Uses: Stewing, roasting and poaching
Fertility: Self fertile

Planting: Plant in moist, well-drained soil with the tip of the crown just visible above the surface.
Watering: Water well after planting to help it establish. Afterwards, only water during extended hot, dry periods or if grown in containers.
Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser each spring. Mulching with well-rotted manure is also beneficial, but avoid covering the crown.
Pruning: In autumn, cut back dead foliage at the base of the stems. This exposes the crown to the cold temperatures needed for strong growth the following season.
Pests & Diseases: This variety has good resistance. To prevent crown rot, ensure good drainage and water at the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slugs and snails.

Product Specifications

Supplied as: 3 bare root crowns
Height: 60-100cm
Spacing: Plant 75cm apart to allow for spreading
First Crop: We recommend waiting until the second year to harvest, allowing the plant to establish strong growth.
