Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Victoria is a classic, heavy-yielding rhubarb with huge leaves and thick green stalks that blush red toward the base. It is handsome enough to grow in an ornamental bed as well as the vegetable garden.

The tart stalks are perfect for pies, sauces and jams, and they can be canned or frozen. Plants begin producing well in their second season and keep coming back for years with very little care. Eat only the stalks; the leaves are not edible.

What it looks like

Huge, broad, heart-shaped to rounded leaves 12 to 18 inches across are deep green and slightly crinkled with prominent veins. They are held on thick, celery-like stalks 1 to 2 inches wide that are green along most of their length and flushed red toward the base. The plant forms a large, rounded mound 2 to 3 feet tall and about 3 feet wide. In late spring, tall, thick stalks may rise above the leaves with plumes of tiny creamy white flowers.

Growing it with lavender

Rhubarb wants richer, more fertile soil than lavender, so plant it in the vegetable or kitchen garden rather than in the lean lavender beds.

Care

Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil with plenty of compost, setting the crown just at or slightly below soil level. Hardy in zones 3 to 9. Harvest lightly in the second year and more fully after that by pulling stalks, and remove flower stalks as they appear to keep the plant producing.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

You'll get a woody, knobby crown with one or more pink-red buds and thick roots. Plant soon after arrival with buds 1–2 inches deep. Keep cool and slightly moist if you must wait.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Red, wrinkled buds push up in early spring and unfold into crinkled leaves. Don't harvest the first year; take a light harvest the second; full harvest from year three.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Early spring as soon as soil can be worked.

How deep

Set the crown so its buds are 1–2 inches below the soil surface.

Spacing

3–4 feet apart; rows 4–5 feet apart.

Soil

Deep, fertile loam rich in organic matter · pH 5.5–7.0

Fix-it tip: Dig in plenty of compost or aged manure before planting. Avoid wet spots; crowns rot in waterlogged soil.

Sun

Full sun (tolerates light part shade).

Shade gives thinner stalks and smaller harvests.

Don’t give up on it
