Rhubarb is a robust, cold-hardy perennial vegetable prized for its thick, juicy stems and distinctively tangy flavour. Grown from organic seed, it requires a little patience in the first year, but rewards you with generous, reliable harvests every spring for up to a decade or more.


This variety produces attractive red-green stalks and large, lush foliage, making it as ornamental as it is productive. Ideal for beds, borders, or dedicated rhubarb patches, it prefers fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from a winter chill to thrive.

🌿 Growing & Care Guide

A Tart-Sweet Perennial for Garden Borders and Raised Beds
Grow your own vibrant rhubarb with these easy-to-sow, non-GMO organic seeds. Perfect for long-term harvests, rhubarb returns each year stronger and more productive.


🛒 What You’ll Need:

  • Organic rhubarb seeds

  • Seed trays or small pots

  • Peat-free compost

  • A sunny windowsill or greenhouse

  • Garden bed or large container for transplanting

  • Mulch and organic feed (e.g. fish, blood & bone)


🌿 Growing & Care Guide

1. Sow Indoors (Best Feb–Apr)

  • Fill trays or pots with moist, peat-free compost.

  • Sow seeds about 2cm deep.

  • Keep in a warm, sunny location (18–21°C).

  • Keep the compost moist but not soggy.

2. Germination

  • Seeds will sprout in 14–21 days.

  • Once seedlings develop true leaves, thin to the strongest one per pot.

3. Transplanting

  • Harden off seedlings after the last frost.

  • Plant in well-draining soil, 60cm apart.

  • Choose a sunny, permanent spot – rhubarb will grow there for years.

4. Feeding & Care

  • Enrich soil with compost or fish, blood & bone before transplanting.

  • Mulch in spring and autumn to retain moisture and protect roots.

  • Water during dry spells and remove flower stalks to boost growth.

5. Harvesting

  • Do not harvest in the first year. Let the plant establish a strong root system.

  • In the second year, harvest sparingly from late spring onward.

  • Twist stems at the base to harvest. Never eat the leaves – they are toxic.


Sow once, harvest for years — enjoy the rewarding flavour of homegrown rhubarb.
