Heirloom Red Rhubarb – Named for Queen Victoria when it was introduced in 1837, Victoria Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a reliable heirloom popular for its tangy crimson red stalks that reach 30-36″. It is best eaten fresh in spring, but the stalks store well and retain their flavor and texture when frozen, freeze-dried, or canned for long-term storage. Warning: Rhubarb stalks are edible, but the leaves are toxic. Keep animals and small children away from the plants.

Tips for Growing Rhubarb Seeds – Soak for 2-3 hours to soften the outer shell and/or scarify seed coat. For spring sowing and warmer climates, we recommend 4-6 weeks of cold stratification to improve germination. Refrigerate in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. Winter sow outdoors or start indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost in 60-68°F soil. Germinates in 14-21 days. Transplant to well-draining, rich soil. Harvest in the second year. Approximately 31-38 seeds per pack.

Zones for Growing Rhubarb – This cold hardy vegetable can be grown as a perennial in zones 3-8. In zones 6 and cooler, plants can live 10-15 years or more. In zones 6-8, plants are short lived perennial. In some areas of zones 9-10, plants can be grown from seed as a winter annual only if winters are very mild or plants are protected from frost with a cold frame or row cover.
