Planting & Care

One of the very first rhubarb varieties to harvest, as early as February.
Produces an abundance of delicious, sweet-sharp, red-pink stems.
The perfect variety for forcing for an even earlier crop.
A very hardy and reliable plant that will crop for up to ten years.
Versatile and easy to grow in a sunny border, veg patch or large pot.
Stems are perfect for pies, crumbles, jams and fools.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance.
Please note: only the stalks are edible, the leaves are toxic.

Species: Rhubarb
Harvest: February - June
Position: Full sun
Soil: Moist, well draining soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H5: -15 to -10)
Spread: 1m
Uses: Cooking, preserving
Features: RHS Award of Garden Merit, Deer resistant

Planting: Plant any time of year in a sunny spot. Space plants 75-90cm apart. Prepare the soil with plenty of well-rotted manure or compost, avoiding sites that get waterlogged in winter.
Watering: Water well after planting and during prolonged dry periods in summer.
Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. Mulch with a 7cm layer of well-rotted manure or compost, keeping it away from the crown.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut away the old leaves. Remove any flower stalks that appear as this can weaken the plant.
Harvesting: Do not harvest in the first year. From the second year, pick stems from February to June when they are at least 30cm long.
Pests & Diseases: Generally trouble-free. Avoid crown rot by watering only when necessary at the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slugs and snails.
