A strong grower! You can harvest the rhubarb (Rheum rhabarum) three times a year. It's tasty at mealtimes or in a rhubarb cake. Plant the roots in your garden or in a pot on the patio. You will receive the rhubarb bare-rooted. This is more environmentally friendly than plastic nursery pots. The annual roots are shipped fresh from the ground. This boosts their strength and accelerates their growth. They flower better and they are more economical. Plant the rhubarb in the spring. The plants can be harvested in the third summer after being planted.
The plant grows best in full sun. Although it will also thrive in partial shade. The soil should be kept slightly damp. It's best to give them extra water during dry periods.
