Product description
Rhubarb Sutton's Seedless is a very easy to grow, seedless variety. It will be supplied as a bare root crown at a length of 5-10cm. This mid-season cropper will be ready to harvest between May and June, although it will also prefer being harvested later than other varieties. It is also a popular, British classic due to its firm, rosy red stalks that can provide delicious flavour to jams, pies and more.
Planting soon after arrival is recommended. This will revitalise the crowns, promoting new growth ahead of their upcoming growing season. You can place them in pots, planters, containers or in bedding and more. Situate them in an open, sunny spot of the garden at intervals of 75cm. Maintain fertile, moist and well-drained soil, whilst keeping them well watered in Spring and Summer.

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.
