Rhubarb crown ('Rheum rhabarbarum 'Red Champagne') - 1 bare-root crown

Rhubarb ‘Red Champagne’ is an elegant variety with slender, bright red to pink stalks and a remarkably mild, slightly sweet flavor. This makes this variety exceptionally well-suited for desserts, compote, and even raw use. Less acidic than classic rhubarb, but full of finesse.

‘Red Champagne’ grows a bit more slowly than other varieties, but more than makes up for it with its refined flavor and beautiful color. Give it a sunny spot in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and you can start harvesting from early spring. Completely hardy and perfect for those who love rhubarb with a refined touch.
