Autumn Planting Rhubarb

Product Information

Plant Between Sept-Dec or Feb-April

Red Champagne rhubarb is an outstanding early variety with long, pale pink stems. It has a sweet taste and is easy to grow and trouble-free making it ideal for the kitchen garden.

Soil/Position
Rhubarb like a rich soil which includes plenty of compost or manure if available.

Growing
Plant so that the crown is just level with the surface of the soil. Plant firmly, treading the soil around the roots. Water-in freely if the soil is dry and continue to water until growth commences.

Harvesting
It is advisable not to take stems the first growing season to allow the plant to become established. When harvesting, twist stems away from the crown as they attain sufficient size but never take too many from one plant as this will weaken it. To maintain a healthy plant, cease harvesting at the end of July.

Grown from cultivated stock. Crowns/roots should not be eaten.

Out of the three rhubarb crowns I bought, this was the only one not to take, I checked it yesterday and found only an empty husk. Shame.

I regret that not one of the rhubarb plants sent by your company grew after being planted out.

We bought three crowns and planted them in our allotment at the recommended time. I am sorry to have to report that despite being looked after and attended to regularly, all three have shrivelled and died.
