Victoria Rhubarb Seeds (OP)
Rheum rhabarbarum
This is the best cooking rhubarb, noticeably sweeter and milder then all
others. Victoria's stalks are a deep crimson red that are slender and very
tender. Also known as the standard crop of Rhubarb. First recorded in 1837
in England. Rhubarb requires minimal care once it is established, and this
strain is very hardy and vigorous. A heavy producer that takes about 3-5
feet in width in the garden, producing 5-6 feet flower stalks. Roots and
leaves are poisonous and can be fatal if ingested. Victoria is well adapted
to most regions and is widely grown. Best grown in zones 2-8. 365 days to
maturity. You will need about 30 seeds to acquire the best plants as you
thin out the less desirable plants. Great for pies and cobblers.
