Glaskins Rhubarb – Organic
4.19$
First recorded in Brighton, England, in 1920, this rhubarb has captured the hearts and palates of Americans ever since. Its long, thick stems are bright red at the base and gradually turn green towards the blade. They are very juicy and very popular in cooking, because they do not develop bitterness and have a low oxalic acid content. This early variety produces a modest harvest in the first year from sowing indoors in late winter. The harvests of subsequent years were very abundant. A mature plant grows between 80 and 100 cm in height.
Please note: The Glaskins variety is particularly suitable for domestic cultivation thanks to its robustness and remarkable taste, however, it is less recommended for market gardeners due to its propensity to go to seed quickly, which can reduce productivity. To grow at home, simply remove the flower stems quickly to continue harvesting over several weeks.
Number of days for harvest: 365
