- Please note: Only the stalks are edible; the leaves are toxic to humans and pets.
- Species: Rhubarb
- Features: Easy to grow, Deer resistant
- Harvest: May, June
- Position: Full sun
- Spread: 1m
- Hardiness: Fully hardy (H5 - hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters)
- 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.
- Uses: Use in crumbles, pies, jams and stewed in desserts such as rhubarb fool.
- Planting: Can be planted at any time of year. Space plants 75-90cm apart to allow for spreading.
- Watering: Water well when new, then during prolonged dry periods in summer once established.
- Feeding: Apply a general purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. You can also apply a 7cm deep mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around your plants, taking care not to bury the crown.
- 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 to conserve the plant's energy.
- Pests & Diseases: Generally unaffected. 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 or crushed eggshells.
Product Specifications

- Eventual Height: 45cm
- Time to first crop: Plants will produce stalks in the first season, but leave these to allow the plant to establish. From the second year, harvest from April to June when stems are at least 30cm long.
