Description
A large attractive plant with deep green leaves and red stems that are excellent for desserts.
An easy to grow clumping shrub will grow in most parts of the garden. It prefers rich soil and regular moisture. Do not let it dry out during summer. Make sure to grab some tomato vegie dust to stop those pesky caterpillars eating the leaves.
Harvest as needed and give regular applications of Maxicrop seaweed fertiliser to keep the plant healthy.
The stems of the rhubarb should be used as the leaves are toxic if eaten. Chop the stems and place in a pot with a centimetre of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer, stirring constantly until the stems lose their shape and become a soft mash. Sugar, stevia or honey, maple syrup can be added as needed. The stewed rhubarb can be eaten hot or cold with ice cream or mixed into a tart, pie or crumble.
Height 65cm x Width 50cm
