Special Considerations: Rhubarb requires a large amount of annual fertility. It is recommended to amend the location with lots of compost before planting as rhubarb is a relatively long-lived perennial crop. It is also best to annually top dress around the base of the plants in the fall or early spring with good compost once in production.
Bulk Orders
We strongly recommend placing bulk orders in December and early January. Some items may be available to order as late as April, however typically not the case. Orders are dependent on available inventory. Some stock may have limited available quantities. We reserve the right to offer a substitution or refund if stock becomes unavailable.
