Rhubarb in a pot
bkmah,
I found this info for you from N.Dakota Extendion office:
A: Rhubarb easily should grow in a container. The container needs to be big enough to accommodate plant expansion. I wouldn’t put it in anything smaller than a 12-inch diameter pot, if possible. In this case, the larger the better. Be sure to put the container in a full-sun area. The more sun, the better. Use sterilized or pasteurized potting soil.
I hope this helps you. Please keep in mind, tho, that rhubarb needs cold weather chilling, for growing, and that it goes dormant at 90 degrees and above. You can check this out on line.
Thank you very much for the info.
Because the leaves are poisenous I have to keep it away from my son. A container is the only way I can.
Thanks again.
Michelle
