Easy Planting, Rewarding Harvest

Rhubarb Victoria Seedlings are designed for gardeners who want to enjoy the fruits of their labour without the wait:

  • Ready to Plant: Pre-grown seedlings reduce the initial growing time, letting you focus on nurturing mature plants.
  • Optimal Spacing: Plant seedlings 50 x 50 cm apart to ensure each has enough space to thrive.
  • Ideal Conditions: These seedlings prosper in full sun and enjoy cooler temperatures between 15 - 25°C, perfect for spring and summer planting.

Care and Considerations

To ensure your rhubarb thrives:

  • Regular Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged to promote healthy growth.
  • Timely Delivery: Seedlings are dispatched on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to minimize time in transit and arrive in optimal condition.
  • Pet Safety: Be aware of the plant’s toxicity—only the stalks are safe for consumption, and the leaves can be harmful to pets.
