Description

A compact plant that produces many uniform, fully coloured bright red stems up to 30cm (12in) tall with a flavour that is less acidic than many cultivars.

Thompson & Morgan have teamed up with the RHS to offer the first AGM cultivars from its 112 plant National Collection of Rhubarbs. This has historically been held at RHS Harlow Carr in Yorkshire, the centre of the rhubarb growing industry, then later moved to RHS Wisley in Surrey.

These cultivars have been increased in number by using a specialist micropropagation laboratory to eliminate virus and provide healthy plantlets, which are potted on to form a small crown ready for planting

Although these plants are young they will quickly mature, resulting in crowns big enough to harvest from 2 years after planting.

Growing Instructions

A very eye-appealing variety making it ideal for planting in vegetable or flower gardens as well as making an attractive and productive container plant.
