Ornamental Rhubarb
Rheum palmatum var. tanguticum
Ornamental Rhubarb is a striking, architectural perennial prized for its enormous, deeply lobed burgundy-green leaves and tall, pinkish-red flower plumes that bloom from late spring into summer.
About Ornamental Rhubarb and growing it in Alberta
Perfect for creating dramatic focal points, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils with partial shade, enhancing borders, woodland gardens, and large landscapes. Preferring cooler climates, it benefits from mulching to protect roots. Generally low-maintenance and pest-resistant, it may occasionally attract slugs or snails in damp conditions.
