Victoria Rhubarb: A Classic Variety for Home Gardeners
Victoria rhubarb is one of the most popular and reliable varieties for home gardeners across North America. Known for its vigorous growth, consistent yields, and excellent flavor, this classic perennial has earned its place in countless gardens for generations.
Why Choose Victoria Rhubarb?
Victoria rhubarb stands out for several reasons. The stalks are thick, tender, and have a mild flavor that works beautifully in pies, jams, and sauces. Unlike some varieties that can be stringy or overly tart, Victoria offers a balanced taste that appeals to most palates. The plants are also remarkably productive, often producing harvestable stalks by the second year after planting.
This variety thrives in cooler climates and adapts well to various soil conditions, making it forgiving for gardeners still learning the ropes. Victoria rhubarb is cold-hardy and can survive harsh winters, returning reliably year after year with minimal fuss.
Growing Victoria Rhubarb
Plant Victoria rhubarb in early spring or fall in a location that receives full sun. The plants prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter, though they're tolerant of less-than-perfect conditions. Space plants about 3 feet apart to allow room for growth.
Water regularly during the growing season, especially in dry spells. Once established, rhubarb is relatively drought-tolerant. Mulch around the base of plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. In spring, apply a balanced fertilizer or compost to encourage strong growth.
Harvesting and Care
Resist the urge to harvest during the first year—let the plant establish a strong root system. In the second year, you can begin light harvesting. Pull stalks from the base rather than cutting them, and stop harvesting by mid-summer to allow the plant to store energy for winter.
Remove flower stalks as they appear to direct energy into stalk production. Every few years, divide mature plants to rejuvenate them and create new plants for other areas of your garden.
A Timeless Garden Addition
Victoria rhubarb is a dependable choice that rewards gardeners with years of harvests. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this variety delivers consistent results and delicious stalks for your kitchen.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
