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.
