5 Victoria Rhubarb Bare Root Plants Rheum rhabarbarum Perennial Vegetable

Victoria Rhubarb is a classic, reliable variety prized for its thick, tender stalks and rich, tart flavor. A perennial favorite for home gardens and kitchen gardens, it returns year after year with vigorous, upright growth and bold, crinkled foliage that adds a striking architectural presence to the edible landscape. Its balance of tartness and sweetness makes it a dependable choice for pies, sauces, jams, and preserves.

The stalks are the star of the kitchen, harvested in spring and early summer for a wide range of culinary uses, while the large leaves are best left in the garden. Rhubarb is a cold-hardy, low-maintenance perennial that performs well in garden beds and borders, rewarding growers with generous harvests season after season once established. Set the crowns with the buds just at or slightly below the soil surface and allow them to settle in for a strong start.
