Planting & Care

Sow Victoria Rhubarb seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, about 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience and consistent moisture are important. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant into a sunny, well-drained garden bed enriched with compost.

Water regularly during establishment and mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid harvesting heavily in the first year to allow roots to develop. Remove flower stalks as they appear to direct energy into stalk production. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect crowns through winter.
