Rhubarb plants: fleshy, red, edible stalks (petioles) of species and hybrids (culinary rhubarb) of Rheum in the family Polygonaceae, which are cooked and used for pies and desserts.
It’s known as a vegetable, produces stalks that are considered a fruit, and it has been known for centuries as a medicinal herb. Rhubarb is a good source of vitamin K, fiber, and antioxidants that can support overall health and help prevent chronic disease. It tastes sour, but when you cook it with sugar it becomes pleasantly tart.
The leaves (not the stalks!) are poisonous to cats, dogs, horses and humans.
A herbaceous perennial that grows from short, thick rhizomes. It grows best in full sun (with some afternoon shade) but will tolerate partial shade. Choose a site with soil that is well-draining and fertile.

Shipping Policy

Many of our plants can be couriered nationwide via the courier guy - and at checkout these options will be displayed. IF couriering doesn't come up as an option, this means that your basket contains one or more items that cannot be couriered - due to size/or practical reasons.
In this case, please either remove from your basket, or contact us for help.
For example, our horse compost cannot be sent via courier and will therefore appear as click and collect only!

NB: We normally send the plants on a Monday or Tuesday to minimise the chance they'll get stuck in a depot over the weekend.
