Plant of the Day
Saturday 4 May 2024
Rhubarb, known as the ‘fruit of Orkney’ is busy growing in the gardens of these Scottish islands. Rheum rhaponticum (common rhubarb) is a species that may have been involved in the parentage of the hybrids now used as culinary rhubarb. This plant is a large herbaceous perennial which overwinters as a low crown.
