Description
Victoria Rhubarb is one of the most popular rhubarb varieties for a reason. It’s easy to grow, highly productive and perfect for beginners as well as experienced gardeners. Once established, it produces long, juicy red-green stalks with a delicious sweet flavour, making it ideal for crumbles, pies, jams and other homemade treats.
This hardy perennial comes back year after year and can provide a generous harvest from early spring through to midsummer. It takes up very little space in the garden but rewards you with plenty of tasty stems, making it a great addition to vegetable plots, kitchen gardens or dedicated fruit and veg areas. For an even earlier crop, it can also be forced during winter using a rhubarb forcer or an upturned bucket.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Victoria Rhubarb is a rewarding plant that will provide harvests for many years. Please note that only the stalks should be eaten, as the leaves are poisonous. If you can't plant your crown straight away, store it in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place until you're ready.
