Default Anyone have any champagne rhubarb seeds?

Rhubarb does not come true to type from seeds.

So you might be wasting your time, go for roots any day.



I found it difficult to get the champagne variety rhubarb plants.
Apparently there are three or four varieties but not many people stock
them even though they are often recommended as the best tasting types of
Rhubarb. I believe Chenies in Buckinghamshire grows Buckinghamshire
Champagne rhubarb but we could never get any offcuts
