Growing Requirements and Care Instructions
These rhubarb roots are best planted in early spring or fall, in soil that drains well with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Place them in a spot where they can receive full sun to partial shade. As they mature, they tolerate cooler climates and even some frost, which makes them hardy for a range of planting conditions. Ensure your rhubarb gets a moderate amount of water during dry spells, and add compost or aged manure annually to enrich the soil.

Easy Maintenance for Thriving Growth
Rhubarb plants require minimal care and are known to be long-lasting perennials that will produce year after year. Remove any flowering stalks to redirect the plant’s energy toward the edible stems, ensuring a bountiful harvest each season. In colder zones, mulching during winter can help protect the roots for the next growing cycle.
