I love rhubarb too, especially in rhubarb strawberry crumble. I planted three this past spring, and they all died. I did not know it was possible to kill rhubarb, but apparently I have achieved the impossible! 😁 Will buy from a reputable nursery next year... no more Tractor Supply plants for me
Did you know that you can grow rhubarb from seeds? It takes several years to get big enough to use that way, but it works.
One thing I have learned, is some varieties prefer shade. Mine does, I have tried twice to move it to a sunnier location and it hated it, so I would have to move it back to its favorite little corner where it gets absolutely no direct sunlight.
That's a good tip, will have to remember that! I was going for edible landscape and planted them around the house. Will have to pay better attention to the planting guidelines next time!
