Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Do not harvest Rhubarb in its first year to allow the plant to establish itself and grow strong roots.
How to Water
Water Rhubarb regularly, especially during dry spells, keeping the soil consistently moist. Avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Rhubarb bare root crowns in a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the crown, ensuring the buds are level with the soil surface. Space plants 90-120cm apart and water well.
