- Species and varieties: Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a perennial plant known for its edible stalks. 'Victoria' is a popular variety known for its large, thick, and tender stalks that are green with a hint of red. This variety is prized for its sweet-tart flavor and is commonly used in pies, jams, and desserts.
- Hybrid or heirloom: 'Victoria' rhubarb is considered an heirloom variety. It has been cultivated for many years and is valued for its reliable performance and excellent flavor.
- Pruning and training: Rhubarb requires minimal pruning. Remove any flower stalks as they appear to encourage the plant to focus its energy on producing edible stalks. In the fall, after the first frost, cut back the foliage to the ground to prepare the plant for winter dormancy.
- Fertilization needs: Rhubarb benefits from regular fertilization. Apply a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring as new growth begins. Additionally, top-dress the soil with compost or well-rotted manure in the fall to provide nutrients for the following growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of stalk production.
- Hardiness zones: Rhubarb 'Victoria' is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8. It thrives in cooler climates and can tolerate frost, making it ideal for northern regions.
- Climate requirements: Rhubarb prefers a temperate climate with cool winters and mild summers. It requires a period of winter dormancy with temperatures below 40°F (4°C) to break dormancy and promote vigorous growth in the spring. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
