Wayside Gardens Rhubarb

Yes, 'Victoria' is unique because it is robust enough to allow for a light harvest in its first year. However, be careful not to over-harvest so the plant can continue to establish a strong root system for future seasons.

The stalks typically grow to 24 inches long and feature a green base with pink speckling. While some stalks may appear fully red, the color variation is normal for this variety and does not affect the flavor.

Since this perennial reaches a mature height of 3 feet and spreads outward, you should provide enough room for it to grow comfortably. It works well as both a dedicated vegetable patch plant and as a foliage-heavy addition to your landscape.

Rhubarb 'Victoria' is very hardy and thrives in USDA Zones 3 through 9. It is a long-lived perennial that is well-adapted to a wide range of climates, including regions with harsh winters.

When your bareroot arrives, plant it in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Ensure the crown is planted just below the soil surface to encourage healthy, vigorous growth throughout the season.
