Rheum rhabarbarum ‘Victoria’
Rheum rhabarbarum ‘Victoria’, more commonly known as Victoria rhubarb, is a perennial vegetable prized for its long, edible green-tinged red stalks, ideal for baking or jams. This plant with a dense clump habit displays abundant and decorative foliage, also bringing an ornamental touch to the garden. It thrives in rich, cool, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Its white summer flowering, though rarely left to avoid exhausting the plant, offers an additional visual appeal. Its hardiness down to zone 3/4 allows for durable cultivation even in harsh climates. Its leaves are not edible and must be removed as they are toxic. Robust, undemanding, and easy to grow, this rhubarb is an excellent choice for family vegetable gardens or edible borders.
