In summer, white flowers appear above the green foliage.
The Canada Red Rhubarb typically grows shorter, more slender stalks that feature a striking red color with a sweeter flavor than other cultivars. For a more reliable crop, it is recommended not to harvest the Canada Red Rhubarb in its first year of growth to allow its root system to establish. |
