Growth Habit: Rhubarb Champagne is a sturdy, upright variety that grows to a height of 60cm (24").

Cropping: Once established, it produces a heavy crop of stems, year after year. The first crop is usually harvested in April, with subsequent harvests possible until June.

Forcing: This variety responds well to forcing, allowing growers to induce earlier stem production by lifting the crowns after frost and placing them in a dark position, such as under a greenhouse bench shaded with black polythene.
  • Deep Root Cells are better than pot grown plants
  • Grown as Deep Cell plants, NOT tiny plug plants
  • Our big plants means they grow faster and will produce fruit quicker !
  • A gorgeously sweet heritage variety of Rhubarb.
  • Can be harvested late into the season as it remains sweet.
  • Heavy cropping and very reliable.
  • Plant any time of the year
  • Raised beds are best, but deep pots or direct into the ground will be ok
  • A vibrant rhubarb plant with ample foliage and thick red fresh rhubarb stalks ready to harvest from mid-spring.
  • Plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil.
  • Mulch rhubarb plants annually with well-rotted organic matter. 

Rhubarb's only problem is "Crown Rot". This happens when you plant into a place with inadequate drainage, hence why raised beds are best. Because of bad drainage the top of the plant rots from sitting in wet compost. Make sure you add sand, perlite, etc and raise the plant so that the crown sits above ground slightly. If planting in a pot, sit the pot on something to aid drainage.
