A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum rhubarb....seed pod

I don't have a very green thumb and am wondering if I can do anything (like replant) using the nice seed pod that has appeared on my rhubarb plant. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Although you CAN grow rhubarb from seed, generally speaking it isn't recommended because seedlings do not retain the same characteristic of the parent plant. And, it can take up to two years to harvest.

Rhubarb is best propagated using plant divisions obtained from splitting the crowns or by purchasing plants or rhizomes.
