It is widely cultivated for its edible stalks, which are used in a variety of culinary preparations. Rhubarb is native to Asia, specifically the regions of Siberia and China, and has been cultivated for centuries for its medicinal and culinary properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rhubarb plant is characterized by its large, thick stalks and large, triangular-shaped leaves. The stalks can vary in color, ranging from green to red, and have a tart, acidic flavor. The leaves, however, are toxic and should not be consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn culinary applications, rhubarb is most commonly used in sweet dishes, such as pies, crumbles, and jams. Its tart flavor pairs well with sweet ingredients, such as sugar and fruits like strawberries and apples. Rhubarb can also be used in savory dishes, such as sauces and chutneys, to add a tangy and unique flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen growing rhubarb in your garden, it is important to note that the plant takes a few years to establish itself before it can be harvested. It is recommended to wait at least two years before harvesting the stalks to allow the plant to develop a strong root system. Harvesting should be done by gently pulling the stalks from the base, taking care not to damage the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rhubarb plant is a versatile and nutritious addition to any garden. Its tart flavor and vibrant color make it a popular choice for both sweet and savory dishes. With proper care and patience, you can enjoy the benefits of growing and harvesting your own rhubarb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood companion plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-asparagus-seeds\"\u003eAsparagus\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-beet-seeds\"\u003eBeet\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-broccoli-seeds\"\u003eBroccoli\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/catnip\"\u003eCatnip\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-chives\"\u003eChives\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-dill-seeds\"\u003eDill\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-garlic-bulbs\"\u003eGarlic\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mint\"\u003eMint\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shop-onion-seeds\"\u003eOnion\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grow-your-own-sage\"\u003eSage\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/thyme\"\u003eThyme\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rhubarb-victoria","title":"Rhubarb - Victoria","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #38761d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #38761d;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/products\/page_1106133e-b69a-4cd2-b602-e571174054a2.jpg?v=1406608714\" alt=\"Page 1106133e b69a 4cd2 b602 e571174054a2 grande\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/products\/page_1106133e-b69a-4cd2-b602-e571174054a2.jpg?v=1406608714\" data-mce-style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Victoria Rhubarb variety will produce high yields of long red and green stalks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRhubarb is a pretty easy to grow in any garden and will continue to grow for many years (10 years or more)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rhubarb plant has big green leaves and bright red stems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsed to make pies and many other dessert\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/grow-guide-rhubarb\" data-mce-href=\"\/pages\/grow-guide-rhubarb\"\u003eHow to Plant Rhubarb Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou may also like to try \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rhubarb-seeds-bare-roots\/products\/rhubarb-root-crimson-cherry\"\u003eRhubarb Root, Crimson Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeedsNow","offers":[{"title":"Sampler Pack (Appx. 20 seeds)","offer_id":293530849,"sku":"95544","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Pack (Appx. 100 seeds)","offer_id":293530851,"sku":"95544","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/products\/Rhubarb_-_Victoria_seeds.jpg?v=1624931812"},{"product_id":"rhubarb-root-crimson-cherry","title":"Rhubarb Root, Crimson Cherry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e Crimson Cherry Rhubarb Root\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRheum rhabarbarum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e) grows high yields of large ribbed, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003etart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, ruby red rhubarb stems that can grow up to 2' tall, with the entire plant growing to 4' tall.
