Rheum officinale

This perennial is a vegetable but can also be used in the ornamental garden because of its graceful leaves.

They grow to a height of 100 cm and like to stand in the sun to light shade.

The types of rhubarb with green stems:

taste more sour

are better for freezing

have a stronger growth

red stems:

have a lower yield

taste less sour

are sweeter

These vegetables are used in the kitchen as a puree, for jam and in pastries.

They want a very fertile soil, moderately acidic.

After the winter February / March, give them organic fertilizer and compost, but around the heart of the plant ... not on it.

Repeat this again after the harvest in July.

Avoid wet 'feet' in the winter, which would be disastrous.

Are sold per 4.

Price is for 4 pieces.
