Planting and Growing Information
Plant Canada Red rhubarb crowns in early spring as soon as soil becomes workable. Select locations with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. Space plants 3-4 feet apart to accommodate mature growth. Advise customers to maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging and apply balanced fertilizer in early spring and after harvest. For best results, plants should not be harvested in their first year, allowing them to establish strong root systems for future productivity.
