About this product
Rhubarb Rheum rhabarbarum Holsteiner Blut is an old German variety with red stalks suited to compote, pies and jam. A good buy if you want an easy perennial crop that gives a harvest from the following year.
Plant in sun or light part shade in fertile, humus-rich soil. Water in dry spells and feed with compost. Do not harvest in the first year; later pick stalks until mid-July and snap off flower stems. The leaves are not edible.
