These rhubarb seedlings offer an extremely affordable approach to starting what will eventually become a productive patch of delicious rhubard stalks. An early-season food producer for your garden, edible landscape, or food forest. Plant once and be rewarded with food every year for 15 or more years from wach plant. These are first-year seedlings and, therefore, should be allowed to establish in the ground this season and next before beginning to harvest in the third season. By season four, and thereafter, you should be able to enjoy full harvests.
 
If you're creating a food forest, this plant along with wild strawberry and asparagus, among others, are excellent candidates to serve as the ground cover layer of the system. Just be sure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight in a day.
