Organic 'Glaskins' Rhubarb
identification
description
Rheum rhabarbarum ‘Glaskins’ rhubarb is an impressive organic perennial, valued for its thick stalks, remarkable vigor, and longevity in the garden. Once established, it creates a generous presence with its large foliage and colorful petioles, bright red at the base then nuanced with green, which give the vegetable garden a look that is both rustic and elegant. This early variety appeals to gardeners with its ability to offer a light first harvest as early as the first year, followed by much more abundant yields in subsequent seasons. In the kitchen, its juicy, slightly bitter stalks reveal a sweet, tangy, and slightly sugary flavor, perfect for desserts as well as certain creative savory preparations. Grown in rich, cool soil, it quickly becomes a faithful plant, capable of durably occupying a prominent place in the food garden. Its flowering, when allowed to develop, also adds an ornamental and lively dimension to the cultivated space. We love to see its young stalks emerge in spring, promising the first pies and jams of the season. Both productive, decorative, and deeply rooted in the tradition of family gardens, ‘Glaskins’ is a rhubarb of choice for long-lasting gourmet harvests.
