Rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum)
Stalks make delicious pies, sauce and jam!
We propagate our rhubarb
from divisions which are made by dividing a crown with a knife.
How To Store Divisions Upon Arrival:
|
| |
Same as peonies and other
bulbs. Cool dry place. Do not moisten roots. Put dry sawdust
in bin. Plants have short shelf life. |
| |
|
|
What Type Of Soil:
|
| |
Will grow in acid, alkaline,
sandy, clay or any type of black soil. If potting, use any
type of potting soil. |
| |
|
|
How To Plant:
|
| |
Dig a hole as deep as the division.
Place division in the hole with buds facing up. Buds should be 1"
below ground level. If fall planted, put a mound of soil about 6" to
8" on top of division. This will keep the plant from heaving out in
the spring. Plant 2 feet apart. |
| |
|
|
When To Plant:
|
| |
Fall (October preferably). Can
also be planted in spring, but some plants may die if planted
in late spring. Rhubarb is a cool weather growing plant. |
| |
|
|
Where To Plant:
|
| |
On edge of vegetable garden,
in foundation plantings, border plantings. Will only grow 24"
tall the second year. |
