{"product_id":"victoria-rhubarb-seeds-new","title":"Victoria Rhubarb Seeds - NEW!","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictoria Rhubarb is a classic heirloom variety valued for its dependable growth, long harvest window, and beautifully coloured stalks. Vigorous plants form large, upright clumps reaching 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, producing thick, tender stalks that range from green at the base to soft pink and red along the length. The flavour is well balanced, offering a bright tartness mellowed by natural sweetness, making it ideal for pies, crisps, jams, and fresh baking. This hardy perennial establishes quickly and can be harvested lightly in the first year, with full production beginning in its second season. Plant in full sun to partial shade in rich, well drained soil, provide consistent moisture, and divide crowns every few years to maintain strong yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Victoria Rhubarb — Shopify friendly product info --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.45; color: #222;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-size: 1.125rem;\"\u003eVictoria Rhubarb \u003csmall style=\"font-size: 0.85rem; color: #555;\"\u003e(Rheum rhabarbarum)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #333;\"\u003eA classic heirloom rhubarb valued for dependable growth, extended harvests, and beautifully coloured stalks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 720px; border-top: 1px solid #eee; padding-top: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 40%; padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eHarvest lightly first year; full production second season onward\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003ePlant Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eUpright clumps 2–3' tall and wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eFull sun to partial shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eStart Indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eStart 8–10 weeks before last frost; transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eDirect Sow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eSow outdoors in early spring once soil can be worked.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; font-weight: 600; background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eSeed Depth \/ Germination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px 8px; border: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003eSow ½\" deep.
