Rhubarb, Victoria

Rheum ‘Victoria’

The classic Victoria Rhubarb is a heavy producer.
It has thick, tender stalks with a tart flavor that is excellent for pies and sauces.
Plant the rootstocks at least 3 to 4 feet apart after your area’s last frost.
The stems and leaves of ‘Victoria’ are large (some as long as 4 feet) so you’ll need to give the plants plenty of room.
Two physical characteristics of ‘Victoria’ that made it stand out from other varieties were its bright red color and large stems.
And because it’s a perennial, it will yield years of copious harvests with little trouble and few pests.
