Rhubarb Glaskins Perpetual
Rhubarb is not usually thought of as a seed raised plant but it is really easy to grow, and well worth the effort.
Glaskins Perpetual is a very quick growing variety, producing bright red sticks with fine flavour over a long period of time. It is very easy to grow from seed in any odd corner of the garden and tastes absolutely delicious in a crumble any time of year, or in tarts and jams. Delicious!
