Description
Indulge in the delicious flavor of Victoria Rhubarb, a perennial plant cherished for its sweet and juicy stems, perfect for summer treats. Unlike most other rhubarb varieties, Victoria Rhubarb boasts long, thick dark red leaf stems with tender skin and flesh texture, free from stringiness, making them a culinary delight throughout the summer months. Harvest only the stems, as other parts of the plant are poisonous.
Victoria Rhubarb isn't just about taste; it also offers ornamental merits with its large cherry red stalks, typically harvested when mature. The bold spikes of white flowers that rise above the foliage from early to mid-summer add to its charm, while the enormous crinkled heart-shaped leaves remain green, creating a lush backdrop for the vibrant stems.
As an herbaceous perennial, Victoria Rhubarb dies back to the crown each winter, only to regrow from the base each spring, making it a reliable addition to both landscape and edible gardens. Thriving in full sun to partial sun and requiring regular watering, this versatile plant adapts to various soil types and is suitable for zones 2 to 8.
