Rhubarb thrives in a sunny spot with good drainage and well-prepared soil enriched with organic matter. If you’re growing in a hot climate, a bit of part shade during peak summer can help. This setup ensures the rhubarb grows strong and healthy, producing vibrant red or green stems. Read our vegetable planting guide for more tips.
The best time to plant rhubarb in Australia is in early spring, when the soil begins to warm up. Starting rhubarb at this time helps it establish strong roots, ensuring a healthy rhubarb plant that will yield a bountiful harvest in the second year. Rhubarb is a great choice to grow among other vegetables and herbs.

No, you only need one rhubarb plant to enjoy a full harvest. Rhubarb is self-sufficient and does not require a second plant for growth. However, planting multiple plants can increase your yield, providing an extended supply of rhubarb stalks throughout the season.
To harvest rhubarb safely, gently pull the stalks from the base, ensuring you leave at least one-third of the stalks attached to the plant. Avoid harvesting rhubarb leaves as they are toxic, and only use the stalks for cooking. This harvesting method allows the entire plant to remain productive through the growing season.
Yes, you can start rhubarb from rhubarb seeds, though it’s a slower process than planting crowns or divisions. Starting from seeds allows you to grow a larger number of young plants, but it may take an extra season before the plants are mature enough for a full harvest.
