Rhubarb 'Crimson Red' ~ Crimson Red Rhubarb
This product is only available in store. Visit our Nursery for more information.
Crimson Red Rhubarb is a fleshy perennial grown for its edible bright crimson stalks that are harvested in spring. Flowering does not affect the harvest, and can simple be removed as desired. Grows best in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Crimson Red stalks has a tender celery-like texture with a bold and balanced sweet-tart flavor that is good raw or cooked.
Note: only the stems of Rhubarb are edible- and if the plant freezes while growing, do not eat the stalks at all, as the leaf toxics may travel down to them.
