Jumping on the bandwagon, Can anyone suggest whi my well establishe
rhubarb root (about 6 crowns) is prone to flowering every spring? I
pick until about this time of year and then leave it to build up for
next year.

I have read that some plants will flower when in distress to ensure
continuation of the species.

Any advive?
