Victoria
Rheum rhabarbarum

‘Victoria’ is an old standard crop variety of rhubarb and one that we raise in our “Victory Garden” here on the farm. It has proven to be one of the largest and most productive varieties available. The stalks are a deep crimson red with a touch of green on the inside. The hint of a wine flavor makes it a good variety to use for pies and cobblers. First recorded in 1837 in England.

Rhubarb is a garden anchor commonly found around old farmsteads and farm houses; particularly in northern climates. It is long-lived and typically grown by dividing mature plant crowns. We have plants on our farm that we started from seed over twenty years ago, as well as some plants that my grandmother grew putting them in the sixty to eighty year-old range.

Starting plants from seed is not difficult (refer to the information in the “Cultivation / Harvest Information” tab below) but you will need to plant at least twenty seeds to cull out ones that do not exhibit the desired traits for the variety. For the average family, three plants is generally sufficient to meet their needs. Click here for our Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie recipe.

Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 60 seeds.
