Rhubarb Giant Victoria

Rhubarb Giant Victoria is the greenest variety available but it can produce some of the largest and sweetest stems of all the varieties. A hardy vigorous growing Rhubarb, the thick stems of green and red have a really good flavour.

Rhubarb prefers a full sun position but will tolerate part shade, and plants can struggle in warmer or humid climates, even with adequate water. Rhubarb requires a cold Winter to grow well, and the best stem colour is produced in the cooler months.

Plant crowns in an open sunny position in a well drained improved soil. Ensure plants have adequat water in dry periods for optimum growth. Remove any flower stems that may form and harvest only lightly in the first year. Crowns can be left undisturbed for up to 5 years before needing to be divided. Harvest stems by pulling the thickest stalks gently off the crown. Ensure the whole stem comes away as any stub left will rot and cause disease. Only the stems of Rhubarb are edible, leaves are VERY toxic to both humans and animals.

CAUTION Leaves not to be eaten
