Last year I was given some rhubarb which I planted and ignored . This year I've had a few sticks off it but now it has thrown up a flower.  Do I cut it off?  Seems a shame if the answer is yes as it's a lovely pink colour.  I've never grown rhubarb before so have no idea.

It's going to seed so yes cut it off

Happened to two of my crowns too. Remove them and give them a good feed to give them a boost too.

I think I knew what the answer was going to be, but thankyou for it anyway. Now to do the deed!

keep an eye as it can put up a second shoot

I think some varieties are more prone to flowering. I have a variety that is slightly later in the spring to get going and every year it sends up an early flower which I just chop off.

Seen a lot on the allotment this year that have gone to seed.  I've never seen rhubarb do that before but then I've never had a plot before either so seeing lots of new things.
