Hi, how do you care for rhubarb over the winter, I have one plant that has quite a few leaves and 2 very small, all have been planted earlier this year at various times?

Let it die down.

Throw some manure over it.

Ignore until spring.

That sounds about the treatment I give mine.

You really pamper your Rhubarb then DD 

[DD.]

Not really.

I don't bother with the manure as it's prolific enough.

I was just saying how it should be done.

i think you are about rite throw some muck over it and forget it till spring i set my rhubarb for seed [Victoria] going to set a variety [champagne] from seed next year any one tried this variety whats it like the catalogue says its a very flavour 

[alibean]

Agree with D.D.   Although if I'm short of manure I tip the used growbags and pots from the greenhouse 'clear out' over the rhubarb - they seem to like it!

[DD.]

Bottom line is, unless you're very unlucky or doing something very wrong, you don't need to look after rhubarb.

The patch I tried to dig out gets better every year.
