Rhubarb Victoria is a hardy perennial known for its vibrant red stems and tart flavor. It is commonly used in pies, jams, and sauces. This variety thrives in cool climates and prefers well-drained, fertile soil, making it an ideal choice for gardens with slightly acidic soil.
Position: Full sun to partial shade, well-drained, fertile soil
Days till maturity: 90–120 days
Plant height: Up to 90 cm
Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, keeping the soil warm (around 20°C) and moist. Once seedlings have a few sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 60–90 cm apart to allow for proper growth. Rhubarb thrives in moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest stems after the second year, removing the leaves, which are toxic.
