About Rhubarb Timperley Early

One of the earliest rhubarb varieties that can be ready to harvest as early as February. Succulent red-based pink stems with a delicious sweet flavour. An excellent variety for outdoor production and forcing in winter. Once established, Timperley Early will produce masses of delicate slender stems that are tender. An easy to grow variety – performs very well outside but will also excel when forced.

Crops Main Season

A staple of traditional summer cooking, the rhubarbs tart, but sweet taste has been backed into pies, crumbles and cakes for years. The champagne is an easy to grow early cultivator, producing tall and beautiful red stems surrounded with bumpy glossy-green leaves that create a colourful and space filling display. The flavour of your rhubarb will vary depending on the age of the stems with younger stems being slightly sweeter. This makes older stems ideal for baking as their sweetness won't overpower the cake or bread you are making. Just remember, the leaves are toxic and shouldn't be eaten.

Plant your rhubarb in a sunny location with moist, but well-draining soil as waterlogged roots are more likely to rot. Avoid planting in places that receive late frosts since young stems may be damaged by it. Mix a well rotten manure into the soil before planting to get good, healthy growth. You can plant rhubarb in containers, but you must choose a pot of at least 50 cm (20in) deep and wide. Anything smaller will result in stunted growth. Keep the ground free of weeds and you may benefit from coving young plants with a cloche or plant pot to help early growth.

How do I harvest rhubarb?

It is best not to harvest any rhubarb stems for the first year. In the following year the plant should be well established and you can pick stalks between April or May. Although the stalks are edible all through the summer it best not to harvest after June to avoid weakening the plant for winter. To harvest, hold the stalk at the base and ease it out of the ground. Avoid snapping the stalk as it may damage the whole plant.
