Planting & Care

One of the earliest rhubarb varieties, with abundant, tasty red-pink stems.
Perfect for forcing, providing a harvest as early as February.
A hardy, long-lasting plant, cropping for up to ten years.
Versatile for sunny borders, vegetable patches, allotments or large pots.
Delicious in pies, crumbles, and jams.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Important: Only eat the stalks; the leaves are toxic to humans and pets.

Species: Rhubarb
Features: RHS Award of Garden Merit, Deer resistant
Harvest: February, March, April, May, June
Position: Full sun
Spread: 1m
Hardiness: Fully hardy (H5: -15 to -10)
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good
Soil Type: Moist, well draining soil
Pruning: Prune out dead leaves in winter
Taste: Sweet and sharp
Pollination: Self fertile
Uses: Cooking, preserving

Planting: Plant any time of year in a sunny spot with moist, well-draining soil. Add plenty of well-rotted manure or compost when planting and avoid sites that get waterlogged in winter. Space plants 75-90cm apart.
Watering: Water well after planting. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods in summer. Growth will slow if conditions are too hot and dry.
Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. You can also mulch with a 7cm layer of well-rotted manure or compost, avoiding the crown.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back in autumn, then cut away old leaves. Cut down any flower stalks that appear, as they can weaken the plant.
Harvesting: Do not harvest in the first year. From the second year, pick stalks from February to June when leaves have unfurled and stems 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.
