20 Rhubarb Seeds

Rhubarb, halfway between a vegetable and a fruit, is a perennial plant with a tangy taste that finds its place in many desserts and culinary preparations. Here's everything you need to know about growing and using rhubarb:

Description of Rhubarb:

• Rhubarb is a perennial vegetable that is very easy to grow. Its petioles, also called stems, are appreciated for their tangy flavor, ideal for preparing jams, compotes, pies or crumbles. They can also accompany meat or fish dishes.
• In addition to its delicious taste, rhubarb is rich in vitamins, particularly vitamins B and C, as well as mineral salts.
• This plant is very hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C. However, it does not particularly like high heat, so a location in partial shade is preferable.
• If you decide to grow rhubarb in a pot, be sure to place it in a warm location, such as a greenhouse or conservatory, until spring is well established.

Cultivation Tips:

• Rhubarb can be planted in spring or fall in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
• For better germination, you can soak the seeds in water overnight before sowing.
• Rhubarb plants appreciate regular watering, especially during dry periods. However, avoid excess water to avoid root rot.
• Harvesting of petioles can begin from the second year after planting.
