Description

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.

Collection comprises 1 plant each of

Rhubarb Fultons Strawberry Surprise

Rhubarb Giant Grooveless Crimson

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

Both these varieties are very eye-appealing making them ideal for planting in vegetable or flower gardens as well as making attractive and productive container plants.
