Instructions
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.
