Planting & Care

A dependable and easy-to-grow rhubarb variety, producing sweet, slender stems.
Force the crowns for tender, pink-tinged stalks, or grow naturally for a richer red colour.
This early variety can be harvested from its second year, between April and June.
Extremely hardy and long-lasting, one plant can provide delicious rhubarb for up to ten years.
Perfect for sunny borders, vegetable plots, allotments, or even large patio containers.
Ideal for making classic pies, crumbles, and jams.
Please note: Only the stalks are edible; the leaves are toxic to humans and pets.

Species: Rhubarb
Harvesting Season: April to June
Position: Full sun
Soil: Moist, well-draining soil
Hardiness: H5 - hardy in most places throughout the UK even in severe winters (-15 to -10)
Eventual Spread: Approximately 1.2m
Uses: Perfect for crumbles, pies, jams, and stewed in desserts such as rhubarb fool
Pollination: Self-fertile, does not need a pollination partner
Features: Deer resistant, good pest and disease resistance

Planting Time: Plant bare root crowns any time from January to December.
Planting: Choose a sunny spot with moist, well-draining soil. Add plenty of well-rotted manure or compost when planting and avoid any site that gets waterlogged in winter. If planting more than one, space them 75-90cm apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water well when new. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods in summer. Growth will slow down if conditions are too hot and dry.
Feeding: Feed annually in spring or summer with a general-purpose fertiliser. You can also apply a 7cm deep mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around your plants, taking care not to bury the crown.
Harvesting: Do not harvest in the first year. From the second year onwards, harvest stalks from April to June once the leaves have fully unfurled and stems are at least 30cm long.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut away the old leaves to expose the crown to winter cold. If a flower stalk appears, cut it down as this can weaken the plant.
Pest & Disease: To avoid crown rot, which can cause the plant to fail, water only when necessary and at the base of the plant. Protect young plants from slugs and snails with a barrier such as copper wire or crushed eggshells.
