Rhubarb 'Giant victoria'

If your area has too much hot sun plant these perennials in dappled shade as full sun will wither the stalks. Very drought tolerant and winter hardy.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Giant victoria is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Giant victoria is a hardy plant.

Victoria rhubarb has not been improved since its creation almost 175 years ago; a testament of its superiority. Joseph Myatt of Manor Farms in Deptford, England was the breeder of this rhubarb.¹
