"Rhubarb is a perennial, so it'll spring back up year after year in your garden. If you want it to survive down south, you'll need to treat the veggie like an annual."
"When grown properly, rhubarb is sour and a little earthy. Often described as a marriage of green apples and celery, a little sugar and heat reveal the tart, sweet plant within."
Rhubarb, originally from northern Asia, thrives in cooler climates, making it popular in regions like Seattle. When grown in hot environments, such as the South, rhubarb's flavor diminishes, resulting in a less pleasant taste. Properly grown rhubarb is sour and earthy, often compared to a mix of green apples and celery. To cultivate rhubarb in warmer areas, it should be treated as an annual, with seeds or roots planted indoors in late summer for a successful fall garden harvest.
