{"product_id":"rhubarb-victoria","title":"Rhubarb - Victoria","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhubarb is a vegetable, but is treated more like a fruit in the kitchen. Victoria is one of the oldest rhubarb varieties on the market. It was introduced in 1837, at the start of Queen Victoria's reign, and is still in production today because of it's heavy, dependable yields and sweet, slightly tart flavour. The stalk is red, turning to green closer to the leaves. The leaves are toxic, but the stalks can be used for pies, as a second ingredient in jams, preserves or frozen. It can produce 1.8 to 5.4 kg per crown per year (after second year). Can tolerate some shade, but does best in full sun. Beautiful fall foliage colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: These are second year plants started from seed in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/b\u003e late June\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollinators:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-fertile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eZone:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e Full Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 m \u003cb\u003eWidth:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuckers:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeer Resistant:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrought Resistant:\u003c\/b\u003e Somewhat\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denise","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":47166290690217,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/5740\/6633\/files\/Comingsoon_BbRoots.png?v=1715849829","url":"https:\/\/www.bearberryroots.com\/products\/rhubarb-victoria","provider":"Bearberry Roots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
