RHUBARB - STRAWBERRY RED 

A vibrant and flavorful perennial for the edible garden, the Strawberry Red rhubarb produces striking crimson‑red stalks that stay colourful when cooked and offer a pleasantly sweet, strawberry‑like flavour. Ideal for Canadian climates—including Victoria, BC—this hardy variety thrives in rich, moist soil and full sun, making it a delightful choice for both fresh spring harvests and garden plots designed for perennial production.

Reviews

"The root had a small leaflet to start but then died. We had huge amounts of rain here in the spring which may have rotted it. The dry root was a ‘v’ shape & was cut on both sides. It may have had too much cut surface to start off well. Disappointing only because I was looking forward to seeing it grow & taste it."

I am looking forward to

"I am looking forward to planting this rhubarb. I've gotten into making rhubarb crisp with this variety."

— Arnold K. (5/5)

Watch where and when you plant it

"I received my rhubarb in March, and found the rhizomes a lot smaller than I was expecting. I planted them in an area amended with compost. A week ago I noticed they were doing very poorly so I dug them up only to find them riddled with wireworm. I tried to pick all of them out, and immersed in water to try to flush out the remaining ones and potted up in new soil. I hope some of them make a recover but I think since the rhizomes were so so small they will not be able to bounce back :("
