It's a Vegetable! A Fruit! An Ornamental Plant?
It's Rhubarb!
Friday April 27, 2007
Rhubarb is a very ornamental vegetable that is usually prepared and eaten much like a fruit. All that and it’s perennial in many areas. Rhubarb, in shades of green and red, can grown into a stunning 3' leafy plant. You don’t need many plants in your garden, but this is one cool season crop it’s worth making room for. Plant it once and it could continue to reward you for over a decade! And don’t think you have to settle for dried out store bought stalks, just because you don’t get freezing winters. Gardeners in milder climates can easily grow rhubarb as an annual. Photo Courtesy of Katia Grimmer-Laversanne
