Description
Description
Raspberry Red is a recent Rhubarb cultivar producing high quality deep red thick stalks without the need for forcing. It is a relatively early cropper and it has a deliciously sweet flavour. It is ideal for well-drained areas of the vegetable garden, and once planted it should not be moved. The plant would benefit from a generous annual mulch of well-rotted compost or manure.
