Rhubarb ‘Victoria’ is a time-tested favourite, known for its reliable yields and rosy-green stalks that grow thick and juicy from mid-spring through summer. It forms a robust clump of large, lobed leaves on upright stems and brings a bold, productive presence to any kitchen garden or allotment. With its long cropping season and consistent flavour, it’s a go-to variety for home growers.

The stalks have a mellow tartness balanced by natural sweetness, making them ideal for pies, crumbles, compotes, and syrups. Harvest lightly in the first year to allow the plant to establish, then enjoy regular picking in future seasons. The leaves are not edible, but make excellent compost material.

Hardy, low maintenance, and long lived, ‘Victoria’ thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and can remain productive for over a decade with occasional dividing. Classic, generous, and packed with flavour, this is the rhubarb that earns its place in every garden.
