Plant details
The large, jagged leaves of this rhubarb bring architectural drama to a moist pond edge. As well as being a valuble ornamental plant, its red stems are full of flavour, making this a variety well worth growing as an edible crop. Divide the rootstock in spring with a knife, leaving one bud on each division, or sow seed in autumn.

My Rhubarb plants go to seed every year. I initially thought that it was because I forced them but that was 3 years ago. Do I just cut off the seed stalks early on.
