Rhubarb - Red Champagne

Comment from Gerri Tennant

I have just bought this from Morrisons and it has very few details on it. Would this be 'Champagne Early' or 'Champagne' (both of which are listed on this site but appear to be different from the sizes given) or a totally different one? Many thanks.

    Hi, Gerri,
    R. 'Early Champagne', R. 'Champagne' and R. 'Red Champagne' are all different cultivars requiring pretty much the same cultural requirements and care.

      Many thanks Kathy - I wonder how it varies?

        HI, Gerri,
        I think the stems are supposed to be a little longer than most, and pale pink. Though, to be honest (and a little cynical) sometimes the descriptions seed/veg growers give are a bit sensationalised (I think I've made up a new word, there :) ).
