Description

Rheum hybridum 'Stockbridge Arrow'

Bred in Yorkshire, this late season rhubarb is the most highly rated variety to have been released by the HRI Stockbridge House breeding programme. It is reported to produce the highest quality rhubarb of any variety when grown outdoors. The stems are long, thick and evenly sized and have an attractive dark red skin and distinctive arrow shaped leaves. The flavour is sweet and delicious. It produces heavy yields over a long harvest period from April to June and is also ideal for forcing to produce an earlier crop.

More Info

Rhubarb is delicious in desserts and as it is so easy to grow and takes up very little room it deserves a place in every garden. The plants will tolerate full sun or partial shade, but it is important to make sure they are planted in a well-drained soil. It is equally suited to container growing.

Large hand selected rhubarb crowns are available when they are dormant (from mid October until March) and 3 litre potted plants are usually available for planting all year.

For better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
