Who doesn't love a good Rhubarb? This variety grows compact with dense, gorgeous blue-green leaves. The stems are short, juicy and thick, bright ruby-red at the base, fading to green at the top.
The young stems can be eaten raw dipped in sugar. Rhubarb is of course best stewed with sugar and made into delicious treats such as a good Crumble. Perhaps even with a bit of apple. It's important to note that the leaves are poisonous.
