Rhubarb Poulton's Red Plant

Regular customers will know that we’ve been at the fore-front of Rhubarb breeding in recent years. We were the first to introduce Livingstone, the first autumn cropping variety.

Poulton's Red is a recent introduction, the latest in day neutral breeding and is our sweetest Rhubarb yet. Remarkable in trials for its vigour and deep green leaves, however the most eye-catching feature was the bright red, stringless stems – the strongest red we’ve ever seen.

With rhubarb, generally the redder the stem the sweeter the taste. The flavour of Poulton's Red has less of the characteristic rhubarb sharpness, which means little or no sugar needs to be added in the cooking process.

The dormancy has been naturally bred out so you can enjoy harvesting Poulton's Red from February (if forced) and continue through to November – up to 10 months of the year.
