Flowers: May-July.  Plant in full sun or part shade.  HxS 2mx1.8m

A handsome and architectural damp lover for a pond or stream side.  Huge, dark maroon rhubarb leaves are topped with spikes, reaching 10 feet, of pink, fluffy flowers.  This plant requires a moist, but not wet, site and is tolerant of heavy soils, including clay.  Please order early or late in the season as plants grow very large in the summer and have to be cut back to transport. Pot size 2 litre.

Care & Maintenance.

Plant the crown slightly proud of the ground (as you find it in the pot) so that it is not immersed in water throughout the winter.  Leaves are best cleared away in autumn.  Propagate by seed in autumn or division of the crown in spring. Mulch well in late winter.
