Best culinary rhubarb.

I'm buying my niece some rhubarb for her birthday so which one would you recommend for cooking and what is the best place and way to plant it?

I like Timperley Early. As it suggest it is an early cropper and good for forcing.

Timperley Early gets my vote as well

You may not have much success at this time of the year - I think they do better when planted in a more dormant season (and then not harvested for a year or perhaps more, to allow it to build strength).

So you may need to print off a photo and give her that with an IOU until later in the year!
