Rhubarb Glaskins Perpetual

Rhubarb Glaskins Perpetual produces large, long stemmed, bright red stalks which are juicy and hold good flavour.  A very reliable variety with quick growing plants that can be harvested lightly in their first year.

Seed may be planted in autumn or spring. Plants started from seed typically take two years to get a really good harvest, although in the proper climate satisfactory results can be obtained in one growing season. For the home gardener, rhubarb will tolerate a fair amount of neglect and still thrive, they are very tough plants.

You will probably get a mix of plant colours ranging from green through pink with a few plants with crimson or partly crimson stems. When grown as an ornamental, the huge leaves topped with tall stalks of white flowers with a green tinge are quite impressive.
