Rheum palmatum tanguticum Select Red - Ornamental Rhubarb

Tall spires red-crimson flowers in early summer held proudly above coarsely toothed, reddish-green leaves, Held on gorgeous blood red stems. This form of Chinese rhubarb has larger leaves than other varieties, often purple-tinted. Requiring considerably less space than gunnera, it's an excellent architectural plant for the moist margins of a medium-sized domestic pond, but will grow on dry sites just fine.

Supplied in approx. 3-4 litre container.
