Quintessentially British and named in honour of Queen Victoria in 1837, Rhubarb Victoria is a tried and trusted hardy variety which has proved popular with gardeners old and new over many decades. It is easy to grow and once in place, given the right conditions, will give plentiful supplies of tasty stalks for many years.
Rhubarb Victoria has slender leafstalks with a reddish pink blush colour and has a sweet and mild taste when cooked and served with custard or in puddings.
Can be harvested from mid-summer while young and tender.
Snap off the stalks at the base.

Size guide - Garden Ready 7cm Potted Vegetable Plant
Our garden ready 7cm Potted Vegetable plants are grown in 7cm recyclable taupe pots with no extra growing on needed. Just plant the potted vegetable plant straight into your desired location, whether that be a grow bag, a 10ltr pot or straight into the ground in the greenhouse and watch them grow and produce abundance of fruit. These are at stronger stage than plug plants but will still need protecting from the cold weather and frost. Compost volume is around 7cm deep x 7cm square (at widest part). Foliage height is very dependent on vairety.
Allow the foliage to die away in the autumn and give a good mulch of well-rotted farmyard manure in early spring to encourage good healthy growth. Divide the rhubarb crowns every 5 years to maintain vigorous growth.
