Superior Genetics Seed Line Red Rhubarb

More heat tolerant than many rhubarb varieties
Deep red stalks
Unique strain from Australia

Direct from our research fields we are pleased to offer you this superior strain of Rhubarb in a JUMBO plant. These plants, originating in Australia, have demonstrated tremendous vigor and heat tolerance, while maintaining a remarkable deep red color. We don't offer items from our research field often and this is a very limited supply, so act quickly if you'd like to grow this unique strain of Rhubarb which eventually became our famous KangaRhu.
