About This

  • Heirloom Red Rhubarb - Named for Queen Victoria when it was introduced in 1837, Victoria Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a reliable heirloom popular for its tangy crimson red stalks that reach 30-36". It is best eaten fresh in spring, but the stalks store well and retain their flavor and texture when frozen, freeze-dried, or canned for long-term storage. Warning: Rhubarb stalks are edible, but the leaves are toxic. Keep animals and small children away from the plants.
  • Tips for Growing Rhubarb Seeds - Soak for 2-3 hours to soften the outer shell and/or scarify seed coat. For spring sowing and warmer climates, we recommend 4-6 weeks of cold stratification to improve germination. Refrigerate in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. Winter sow outdoors or start indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost in 60-68°F soil. Germinates in 14-21 days. Transplant to well-draining, rich soil. Harvest in the second year. Approximately 31-38 seeds per pack.
  • Zones for Growing Rhubarb - This cold hardy vegetable can be grown as a perennial in zones 3-8. In zones 6 and cooler, plants can live 10-15 years or more. In zones 6-8, plants are short lived perennial. In some areas of zones 9-10, plants can be grown from seed as a winter annual only if winters are very mild or plants are protected from frost with a cold frame or row cover.
  • The Info You Need to Grow - These non-perishable seeds are packed in a beautiful paper packet with instructions for successful growing and germination in your home garden. Each package also has instructions for saving seeds after harvest. Getting started is simple for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
