Just planted some seed this morning.
It was also the Victoria variety.
Wish me luck!!
Just harvested my seed so will go to start some new growth.
Can I plant my rhubarb seeds directly in to my 5 gallon bucket container now (October), and if so what is the optimum spacing?
I make rhubarb Gin !!!
Which rhubarb variety should I grow for the most intense rhubarb flavor please ?
(intensity of flavor is the most important thing .. but a strong red colour is also good)
First year growing it from seed .
Just purchased Victoria Rhubarb seeds. Should I wait until Spring or can I start seeds now?

Thanks…hadn't thought about growing it from seed.
First time starting rhubarb from seed…. Q1: how long before germination? Q2: what do the sprouts look like?
I received my seeds from your store. Thank you. I can't wait to get them started.
Should you stratify this?
I just purchased victoria rhubarb seeds from mi gardener. Thanks for video on how to start them
I'm going to try it this year for my first time.
I bought Victoria rhubarb seeds from you and all germinated and are doing great in their peat pots. Thanks for video
Just found the video. Friend gave me seeds and now I know how to get some great plants going. Thanks for the intel!!
Just seeded and have starts two.months old.. and wondering when it's safe to put the Victoria rhubarb in the ground..before frost or wait till after
So do you want to keep them in the dark? and what temp is best to keep them at ?
How to SAVE SEED from the Rhubarb Plant to propagate new plants from seed. Let the Rhubarb flower. Just wait for the seed stalks to bloom and pollinate, then allow the seeds to grow until the stalk dries out. You'll know that the seed is ready to harvest when you see it turn dark brown or you start to see fallen seeds on the leaves.
Cut the stalks and brush the seeds off onto a cookie sheet for further drying, then package them up for storage in the fridge for safekeeping.
Very good thank you
Merci!
Help ! I've tried rhubarb 2 years in a row. They start out looking GREAT. But, and this is the BIG BUT, once in my sandy soil they gradually die one at a time. They go from healthy and robust to pitiful and DEAD. I am in S.C. with an 8 month growing season and for some crops they go in the ground in January. Any thoughts. A side note, I went to buy seeds for my fall garden but everything that you talked about in your August planting video is sold out. Any estimated time for these seeds to be in ? Carrots, peas, radish etc. You are the GREATEST !
Hey Luke, love your videos, theyre so informative and inspiring! I've had the same rhubarb plant for atleast 4 years now. And this year, I'm not quite sure why, but after first harvest (and after it flowered) the outer portions of the leaves are turning a deep red/red brown. I also live in upstate New York, I'm not sure if it's just the heat, or if it's more of a nutrient deficiency, if you have any thoughts, please let me know. I've watched some of your other common plant issue videos and I tried a few different things and hasnt seem to make a real change.
I'm growing Glaskins Perpetual Rhubarb from seed. They germinated after about 5 days!!!!
Thank you for your rhubarb guides….you are only one!
Luke is this the rhubarb that has leaves that can be 3 ft across and big stalks great in taste with a bit red and green on them???
I purchased Commercial Seed in Australia during a visit and will be planting shortly in Northern Israel.
Lots of trial and error involved as it isn't a well known or grown item here…although during the time of the English it was.
Thanks for the tips.
Wish me luck in north Texas. Zone 8
I hardened off my rhubarb seedlings (from MIgardener Victoria Rhubarb seeds). I transplanted them outdoors in my raised beds this week, then we had a lot of rainy weather. I’m worried the seedlings will start to have root rot from all this rain. Is there any way to save them? Should I dig them up or just leave them alone and hope they weather the storm? Thanks!
The seeds remind me of elm seeds.
What month would I plant the Rhubarb seeds indoors. I don’t want their roots to get too crowded in the container. I live in SE Michigan
