| Rheum acuminatum |
Ornamental Rhubarb |
This plant likes to grow in or near water,
in summer it has red seedpods. It is disease-free and hardy all across the country
(Canada). Low mounds of heavily veined leaves, rich red petioles, and upright,
branched and spidery stems or red flowers to 4 feet (1.25 m). Adaptive to full sun or
partial shade in rather rich, humusy soil. Cut it hard back after flowering to rejuvenate
foliage for the remaining season. Excellent autumn tones of red in full sun. |
