Who doesn't love Rhubarb? Though the edible stalks of this large perennial are a little tart and acid, cooked up with a little sugar and an apple they are delicious. Great for jams and crumbles. Plant in the sun in well drained soil. Winter dormant in cool areas. Remember - don't eat the leaves.
Rhubarb loves to be fed regularly with compost or any well rotted organic material. The clump will respond well to liquid fertilizer as well. The crowns will get quite large and should be divided every 3 or 4 years.

aka Rhubarb
A vigorous Heritage Rhubarb with healthy, strong upright growth. The stems are broad with quite a bit of green shading on the red stalks. Good flavour and produces well. Plant in humus rich soil that does not completely dry out in summer and feed regularly with organic matter. Perennial.
Wairere Top Tip. Try cooking Rhubarb with 1 sliced apple - it balances out the acid flavour nicely.
