Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

An easy-to-grow and dependable variety producing sweet, slender stems.
Can be forced for early, tender pink stalks or grown naturally for a richer red colour.
An early variety, ready to harvest from April to June in its second year.
Extremely hardy and long-lasting, cropping for up to ten years.
Perfect for sunny borders, vegetable plots, allotments, or large containers.
Delicious in pies, crumbles, and jams.
Important: The stalks are delicious, but the leaves are toxic and should not be eaten.

Species: Rhubarb
Features: Deer resistant
Harvest: April, May, June
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Moist, well-draining soil
Hardiness: H5 - Fully hardy in most places throughout the UK
Eventual Spread: 1.2m
Uses: Cooking, preserving

Planting: Plant your bare root crowns any time from January to December in a sunny spot with moist, well-draining soil. Avoid sites that become waterlogged in winter. Prepare the soil by adding plenty of well-rotted manure or compost. Space plants 75-90cm apart.
Watering: Water well after planting. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods in summer.
Feeding: Feed annually in spring or summer with a general-purpose fertiliser. Apply a 7cm mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the plant, taking care not to bury the crown.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut away the old leaves. Remove any flower stalks that appear, as they can weaken the plant.
Harvesting: Do not harvest in the first year. From the second year onwards, harvest stalks from April to June when the leaves have fully unfurled and stems are at least 30cm long.
Pest & Disease: Generally disease-free. Avoid crown rot by watering only when necessary at the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slugs and snails.
