Rhubarb crowns are really undemanding, versatile producers, with a range of flavours in their stems depending on when you pick them, and the option of an early winter crop.

Do not be tempted to harvest rhubarb in its first year! This will cause the plant to perform poorly in subsequent years.
Be patient, and let it develop strong roots in year one.

FAQs

You can plant your rhubarb crown from October to March for a harvest from the following March through to July.

How do you grow rhubarb?

You can grow rhubarb in a garden bed or a large pot. You can order different varieties of rhubarb plants with us, and you'll find these garden plants very easy to grow. Our wide selection includes Timperley Early, Victoria, Goliath, and Livingstone. Ensure you give your rhubarb plants plenty of water and don't let them dry out. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring or summer. Mulch your plants thickly with aged compost in spring. Take care not to bury the crowns. Once your plants are around five years old, dividing them up is a good idea, reinvigorating them and giving you some spare plants to give to family and friends. Remember to do this during autumn or winter while the plant is dormant.

When do you plant rhubarb?

You can plant rhubarb crowns anytime between October and March.

Where should you plant rhubarb?

You should select a nice sunny spot in your garden that has free-draining soil. Choose a sheltered area that is not prone to late frost exposure. Alternatively, you can plant your rhubarb in a large pot, making it easy to move the plant around to protect it from a late frost or give it adequate amounts of sunlight.

Should you cover rhubarb in winter in the UK?

It's not necessary to cover rhubarb in winter in the UK. All you have to do is trim off all of the old leaves and leave the crowns exposed to the cold.

What do you do with rhubarb in the first year?

In the first year, you should not harvest any rhubarb stems as this will reduce the plant's vigour, and you'll end up with a less than high yield in the years to come. In the second year, you should harvest just a few stems to ensure that you continue to have a thriving and healthy plant.
