Description
Easy to cultivate. Red stems. Bushy growth, undemanding. White flower in June, decorative. Sour taste. Perennial. Break out for a better harvest. After the 2nd year, only break out 30% of the leaf stalks. Do not cut off. Not suitable for places where rhubarb has previously grown.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
Growing tips
High fertilizer requirement, especially nitrogen. Do not cut the white-cream-colored flowers in June/July, but break them off carefully. As a result, rhubarb grows more abundantly the following year, with large leaves and a large harvest.
