Description
Rhubarb Crimson is one of the easiest Rhubarbs to raise from seed and can usually start to be harvested one year after sowing. It produces sweet, juicy, medium sized green stalks and greenish-red coloured leaves. It is a popular variety being extremely productive for years.
Seed may be planted in autumn or spring. Plants started from seed typically take two years to get a really good harvest, although in the proper climate satisfactory results can be obtained in one growing season. For the home gardener, rhubarb will tolerate a fair amount of neglect and still thrive, they are very tough plants.
You will probably get a mix of plant colours ranging from green through pink with a few plants with crimson or partly crimson stems. When grown as an ornamental, the huge leaves topped with tall stalks of white flowers with a green tinge are quite impressive.
