Victoria Rhubarb Roots ( 3 large per bag )
The best cooking rhubarb, bar none-noticeably sweeter and milder the all others. Stalks are slender and very tender, so it's quick and easy to fix for the pot. Plants are prolific; stalks green with red blush.
Rhubarb requires minimal care once established, and this strain is very hardy and vigorous. A heavy producer of top-quality, long stalks with smooth ribs, excellent for commercial operations. Juicy and sweet when eaten, thick stalks have a rosy red sheen gradually turning to green towards it tender tips. Keep in mind the plants can be 3-5 feet wide with 5-6 feet flower stalks. Crowns (roots) are offered for a quick start, these are large roots, which offer a crop much sooner than small roots you often find at garden centers.
(Note: Only the stalks are edible. Roots and leaves are poisonous and can be fatal if ingested.)

Useful gardening infomation

Soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting. Plant the seeds in a good seed starting mix. Seeds can be planted in peat pots fom making transplanting them easier. Put pots in a sunny location. A heating cable will help speed the germination if the room temperature is below 70 degrees F.
Rhubarb seeds germinate quickly. Sometimes germinating in less than 10 days after planting. After germination and the seedling has a few sets of true leaves, place the seedlings outdoors (when temps are above 32 F) in a place that is protected from direct sun, wind, rain and freezing temps for about 10 days (be sure to keep them watered). After that, you can move them out to the garden
