The quickest way to propagate rhubarb is to divide a plant. Any chunk
that has a stalk or two and some roots will probably grow. Seeds will
work if they are viable but it will take longer. AFAIK rhubarb is
true breeding so the seeds should give a plant much like the parent.

Same here 100 miles west of Montreal. Local plants are
hardy i.e. survive winters as cold as -30, appear dead in
April and produce edible rhubarb in June.
