Why Grow Rhubarb in New Zealand?

Rhubarb is an easy-care perennial that thrives in most New Zealand gardens. It’s hardy, tolerates a range of soils, and returns stronger year after year with minimal fuss. All you need is a sunny spot and well-drained soil to enjoy this old-fashioned favourite. The tart, ruby-red stems are perfect for winter desserts and preserve beautifully, making rhubarb a staple in both modern and traditional Kiwi kitchens.

Popular Varieties of Rhubarb Plants for Sale NZ

We know that choosing the right variety makes all the difference. That’s why we offer an outstanding selection of rhubarb plants for sale NZ-wide, with varieties to suit every home gardener.

All of these varieties are well-adapted to NZ conditions and are grown right here to ensure strong, healthy starts.

Tips for Planting and Caring for Rhubarb

Getting your rhubarb patch started is simple. For best results, plant your rhubarb crowns or young plants in a sunny site with rich, composted soil. Space them about 75cm apart to allow room for growth. Use a sturdy Ace1 Planting Spade to make light work of digging holes and preparing the ground.

Keep your plants well-watered during dry spells, mulch to suppress weeds, and feed with an all-purpose plant food each spring. Resist harvesting in the first year, allowing the roots to establish; by the second year, you can start harvesting a few stalks at a time.
