Planting Instructions
When to Plant:
- Rhubarb is a cool-weather perennial that can live for 10 - 15+ years in cooler regions.
- Choose a location that receives full sun, and a planting bed that will not be disturbed.
- Rhubarb does best when average temperatures are below 70-75°F in the Summer and falls below 40°F in the Winter. In warmer climates, afternoon shade would be advisable.
How to Plant
- Starting Indoors - Soak seeds for a minimum of 2 hours before planting.
- Sow 2 seeds per 2 to 3-inch pot, 6-8 weeks before last frost date.
- Cover seed 1/4" deep and keep evenly watered.
- Thin to 1 per pot.
Keep room temperature around 70°F. If temps drops below, you may need an additional heat source, like a mat or heating table, to help them continue their progress.
