Planting & Care

Enjoy rich, robust red stems with an exceptionally sweet taste.
An early maturing variety, ready to harvest from April to June in its second year.
Extremely hardy and long-lasting, providing delicious rhubarb for up to ten years.
Perfect for a sunny spot in a vegetable patch, allotment, or large pot.
Ideal for making delicious pies, crumbles, and preserves.
A 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: April - June
Position: Full sun
Location: Beds & borders
Spread: 1m
Hardiness: H5 - Fully hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters (-15 to -10).
Soil Type: 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.
Uses: Perfect for crumbles, pies, jams, and desserts like rhubarb fool.

Planting Time: Plant bare root crowns from January to December.
Spacing: Space plants 75-90cm apart to allow for spreading.
Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. You can also apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around your plants, taking care not to bury the crown.
Watering: Water well when new, then during prolonged dry periods in summer once established.
Pruning: Allow the foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut away the old leaves. If your rhubarb produces a flower stalk, cut it down as this can weaken the plant.
Harvesting: Do not harvest in the first year to allow the plant to establish. From the second year onwards, harvest from April to June, when the leaves have fully unfurled and the stems are at least 30cm long.
Pest & Disease: 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.
