Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

A robust rhubarb variety with thick green stems speckled with red.
Extremely hardy and long-lasting, providing yields of approximately 5kg annually for up to ten years once established.
Harvest from the second year, typically between May and June.
Ideal for forcing to get an even earlier crop.
Perfect for planting in sunny spots, vegetable gardens, allotments, or large pots.
Excellent for making delicious pies, crumbles, and jams.
Recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Important: Consume only the stalks; the leaves are toxic to both humans and animals.

Species: Rhubarb
Features: RHS Award of Garden Merit, Deer resistant
Harvest: May, June
Position: Full sun
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.
Taste: Sharp and sweet
Uses: Excellent for crumbles, pies, jams and stewed in desserts such as rhubarb fool.

Planting Time: January to December
Spacing: Space plants 75-90cm apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water well when new, then during prolonged dry periods in summer once established. Growth will slow if conditions are too hot and dry.
Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in spring or summer. You can also apply a 7cm mulch of well-rotted manure or compost, taking care not to bury 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.
Pests & Diseases: 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 with a barrier like copper wire or crushed eggshells.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: Bare root crowns
Eventual Height: 1m
Time to First Crop: Harvest from the second year. Leave stalks in the first year to allow the plant to establish. From year two, harvest from May to June when stems are at least 30cm long.
