Rhubarb Timperley Early

Rhubarb Timperley Early is the best variety for early out-of-doors cropping, with thick stems and good flavour. It is earlier than many of the other classic rhubarbs. With its huge leaves and bright red leaf stalks it makes a great addition to an herbaceous border and even large containers on the patio.

Rhubarb is so easy to grow and is one of the first “fruits” of the year. Being a long lived perennial plant, it needs little attention.
