Rhubarb - it’s the vegetable that keeps on giving; plant it once and you’ll be harvesting delicious stems for many years to come! Its striking red stems and broad green leaves will make an attractive feature in your vegie garden too. Lift and divide your rhubarb every 4 to 5 years in winter and space out the crowns when you replant them because rhubarb plants will become congested by this time and will produce less stems of poorer quality. Rhubarb is often referred to as the 'pie plant' due to its use in pies but it also lends itself to a wide range of muffins, biscuits, cakes, as well as fancier desserts. Versatile in savory dishes, rhubarb provides a piquant base for marinades and condiments to pair with roasted meats and poultry. It is a highly productive fruit that can be harvested within 6 months.

Soil: Well-drained soil enriched with plenty of organic matter.
Conditions: Rhubarb plants are best grown in full sun or part shade. Choose a location that will receive at least 3 hours of full sun each day.
Size: Height 0.5-1m x width 0.5-1.5m
