Rhubarb Plants (Loughborough LE11)

Young plants just starting to grow. They like a sunny spot. They advise not to harvest any stalks in the first year so the plant can get established and to always leave a third of the stalks after that, but I'll leave that up to your will power!!! They disappear in winter and grow again in spring. It's good to spread some mulch around them just before winter starts but not over the crown itself which could rot if you do that. Mine was 3 years old last year and the leaves grew to 2 feet across and the plant was 6 feet wide. So think about that when you are deciding where to plant!!
