Glaskins Perptual Rhubarb (100-360 days, Heirloom)

I am having a hard time getting my Rhubarb to come up , and stay alive when they do, so what is wrong? What is the differace between rhubarb and chard , always wanted to no? Thank You. Loretta

great purchase, these beauties are doing great in my garden, very healthy plants.

Rhubarb tastes great. Very much like a good Granny Smith apple. I eat rhubarb like some folks eat celery, and it is wonderful to have this lower acid rhubarb around for a quick break while working in the garden. Seems to be best tasting in most sun.

These seeds sprouted sooner than expected, and most grew very quickly into nice looking mostly cherry red stalked rhubarb. I got 22 seeds, 11 sprouted. 8 grew phenomenally fast (16" tall at 9 wks). 3 are runts at 1/2"-3" but they are growing fine. A couple are more green than red, but majority were red. I used fish emulsion with every watering. Haven't tasted these yet, but they look great.
