Rhubarb in flower borders
Obviously it will be impossible to get a picture at the moment considering the Rhubarb is only just appearing,
but has anyone’s any pictures of their gardens with Rhubarb in their flower beds?
I have a new flower bed which I’m dedicating to Deep reds/ yellows, with some long grasses (currently a Phesants tail grass and a Black Phormium) in there, I have a purpley heuchera, some heathers, (there will be plenty more eventually)
I have 3 Rhubarb plants to get in the garden somewhere which I started last year, and just thought the red of rhubarb would look fab next to them all, but worried the leaves will just stick out like a sore thumb.
so had any one any inspiration for me? rhubarb in amongst your flower beds 😃

does need space ... this is my four year old plant
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Am I right in thinking it can only be eaten as of year 3?
Ok this isn't a flower bed, but again the size of the plant is huge, Jess is a collie X lab for scale there, that rhubarb has been there for two years, in this photo, it was dug up from another area under trees and put there, I have no idea how old it actually is, at least 10 probably 20 or 30 years, but we moved it in only a normal bucket, so you can see how much it has grown in two years. The spread here is over 2m in all directions. and it had been picked. the photo was taken in Spring it made it even bigger than that!
