Description
Produces large, firm stalks. The deepest, darkest rest of any rhubarb. Brilliant red when cooked – doesn’t turn pink or green. Plant in loamy, well-drained soil. Set division 3 feet apart in rows 4 feet apart. Plant in Full Sun to Partial Shade. Grows to a mature height of 24 inches Botanical Name: Rheum rhubarbarum ‘GARrusarsabzar’ PP31875 Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8 KangaRhu Rhubarb should not be harvested the first year. Harvest lightly the second year. You can begin full harvesting the third year. Stop harvesting for the season when the plant begins to produce slender stalks. Rhubarb can be divided after 6-10 years. They don’t spread but clump. KangaRhu is a breeding breakthrough in its heat performance, flavor and pigment. Its stalks are the deepest and darkest red of any rhubarb, and they cook up brilliant red��without hints of green or pink that you’ll find in other rhubarb. Its wonderful cooked flavor made it a hands-down winner in our trials. As for its garden performance? In the midwest you will still be harvesting KangaRhu in mid-July when other varieties had bolted, browned out or just died down.
