Hi, i've tried many of the online stores, and none have them,-
(unwins-
say they have, but there is none in stock), anyone here willing
to-
sell-
me some?-
I'd never heard of "champagne" rhubarb before so did a google for
this wonderous new variety that obviously isn't available in my
country.
I found this site:

which suggests that it's merely blanched rhubarb.
Is this right?
If you look at RHS plant-finder, under Rheum x hybridum "Champagne"
you
will find the wording "tentatively accepted name", which I suppose
means
that it isn't a well-defined variety.
I'm not in the UK so don't have one.
PlantFinder is available on-line. Follow your nose from www.rhs.org.uk
