When starting your seeds, remember that rhubarb is a cool-weather crop.
We no longer carry seed for every plant we write about. What we can hand you is the way we grow the herbs we do sell: living soil, no synthetic fertiliser, no pesticide, and a soil test we publish. Build a regenerative herb garden the way we do →
How to Grow Victoria Rhubarb from Seed
# 1 | Soak your rhubarb seeds in water for 1-2 hours before planting. Then plant your seeds 1/4 inch deep in a high-quality planting soil.
# 2 | Rhubarb seeds germinate quickly when planted in the warmth of late August or early September. Keep your seedlings evenly moist but don’t over-water (the seedlings can die from root rot if the ground is too wet).
# 3 | Once your seedlings have their 2nd set of true leaves reduce your watering.
