The greenish-red stalks of this heirloom perennial have a slight flavour of red wine, and are never tough or stringy. Victoria is delicious in pies and cobblers. The stalks are 25-30cm (10-12") long, under dark green, ruffled leaves. Sow seeds in spring, but wait 12-18 months before harvesting. Choose a sunny site, and divide every four years. Rhubarb is perfect for the permaculture vegetable garden that focuses on perennial plants that can be harvested over many years.
