Notes
'Victoria' rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum 'Victoria') is a perennial for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Victoria is grown for cooking and is an early, abundant producer. Rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Royal fern, White Feather hosta, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
