Hi Paul. I live in zone 5 and mine has come up. When I lived in Arkansas,
zone 7, we tried planting it twice and never had any live over one year.
Maybe it is too humid, or something killed it. No one else we knew had any
luck growing it there either.

Hope someone can give you a better answer. Dwayne

When does rhubarb come up? I planted some last year but have not seen any
come up yet this year. I live in central Maryland - Zone 6.



Rhubarb won't grow in the south -- it's too hot down there.

My Rodale book says "rhubarb needs at least two months of cold weather and
does best in areas with 2"-3" deep ground-freezes and moist, cool springs."
