Q&A - How do I get rhubarb to grow?
Question:
How do I get Rhubarb to grow? 3 years ago I got a plant but every time a leaf starts growing another dies. I have moved it several times to try to see if it will grow. The roots look healthy.
Answer:
Rhubarb is difficult to grow in a hot climate. It is native to Siberia. Rhubarb likes winter temperatures to average below 45 and summer temperature to average below 75. For the best chance of growing it in a warmer climate put it in a raised area that is as well drained as possible with some afternoon shade. In warmer climates, the best time to harvest is in the spring about the same time as strawberries.
