Emblematic of the British summer time, the humble rhubarb plant has proved to be an enduringly popular choice with both novice and experienced gardeners alike. Like other varieties, Rhubarb Timperley Early produces rosy stalks of firm, tartly sweet flesh topped with bushy green foliage, which can be cooked into preserves or stewed with other summer fruits and added to crumbles and pies for a tangy summer treat. This particular specimen can be harvested earlier in the season that most others, and it is best suited to sunny or partially shaded positions and well drained, fertile soil. First grade, open ground crowns supplied.
