Where can I plant rhubarb?

Rhubarb can be planted from seed, but most gardeners prefer to start from rhubarb crowns because they are easier to establish and yield edible stalks sooner. Set the crowns so that the top of the bud sits about an inch under the soil level. Rhubarb plants grow quite large, so leave 30 inches of space between crowns.

Do not eat rhubarb leaves; they can be toxic.
