Thompson & MorganRhubarb Sanvitos Duo
Description
Known for making delicious puddings, rhubarb fruits provide you with a plentiful crop throughout the rhubarb season. This Duo contains two varieties that ensure a long season of successional crop, quick to mature so you can enjoy delicious fruits from 2 years after planting. This Duo includes: . Rhubarb 'Sanvitos Early' - produces a plentiful crop of tall, eye-catching bright red stalks with a compact habit perfect for containers. . Rhubarb 'Sanvitos Summer' - produces a plentiful crop of bright red stems, ready to harvest from May and again in September. Plant rhubarb from autumn to spring in a sunny position in well drained soil. Prepare the soil in advance by digging in plenty of well rotted manure and clearing all weeds. When planting rhubarb crowns, set them so that the top of the crown sits 3cm (1") below soil level and allow a spacing of 75cm (30") between plants. Alternatively plant them in large containers of soil based compost such as John Innes No 3. mixed with plenty of rotted manure. During the first year, resist the temptation to harvest the stems, in order to allow the plant to become properly established. In spring, remove the emerging flower heads as they appear. From the second year, stems can be harvested from April to June, when the leaves have fully unfurled. Pull from the base of each stem and twist them away from the crown. Harvest only a few stems at a time. Water rhubarb plants in summer during dry periods to prevent the soil from drying out. Product Specifications: . Position in: sun or semi shade .
