Yates Rhubarb Seeds (All Year Round)

Rhubarb:

Thick green leaves with green stalks that are redder towards the base. Harvest from second growing season. Stems are cooked for a sweet dessert.

Features:

• Perennial
• Continuous harvest
• Slow to mature

Sow: Sow into trays of Yates Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and keep moist. Transplant when about 7cm high.

Care: Grow in well drained soil in sun or semi-shade. Enrich soil with organic matter and fertiliser (such as Yates Blood & Bone or Dynamic Lifter) before planting. Feed plants regularly with Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food. Continuous harvest promotes new growth. Protect plants from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.

Hint: When harvesting, don’t cut the stems, pull them gently from the crown. Keep well watered in summer to keep the stems juicy. Don’t eat leaves as they contain a toxin. Remove flowering stems.
