- Planting & Care
- A robust rhubarb variety with thick green stems speckled with red.
- Extremely hardy and long-lasting, providing yields of approximately 5kg annually for up to ten years once established.
- Harvest from the second year, typically between May and June.
- Ideal for forcing to get an even earlier crop.
- Perfect for pies, crumbles, and jams.
- Great for sunny spots, vegetable gardens, allotments, or large pots.
- Recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- Important: Only the stalks are edible. The leaves are toxic to humans and animals.
- Species: Rhubarb
- Features: RHS Award of Garden Merit, Deer resistant
- Harvest: May, June
- Position: Full sun
- Spread: 1m
- Hardiness: H5 - Fully hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters (-15 to -10).
- Soil: Plant in any moist, well draining soil. Add plenty of well rotted manure or compost when planting and avoid any site that gets waterlogged in winter.
- Taste: Sharp and sweet
- Uses: Use in crumbles, pies, jams and stewed in desserts such as rhubarb fool.
- Planting time: January to December
- Spacing: If planting more than one, space your rhubard plants 75-90cm apart to allow for spreading.
- Feeding: Rhubarb will grow better if you apply a general purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. At the same time you can also apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost in a layer about 7cm deep around your plants, taking care not to bury the crown.
- Watering: Water well when new, then during prolonged dry periods in summer once established. Growth will slow down and even stop if conditions are too hot and dry.
- Pruning: Allow the foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut away the old leaves to expose the plant to winter cold. If your rhubarb produces a flower stalk, cut it down as this can weaken the plant and reduce your crop.
- Pests & Diseases: Generally unaffected by pests and diseases. Avoid crown rot by watering only when necessary at the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slugs and snails with a barrier such as copper wire, crushed eggshells or gravel.
Product Specifications
- Supplied as: 20-30cm Plant in 3L Pot
- Time to first crop: Plants will produce stalks in the first season after planting, but you'll need to leave these alone to allow the plant to establish itself. From the second year onwards, you can harvest as much as you like from April to June, when the leaves have fully unfurled and the stems are at least 30cm long.
